Reply #25: Use carrots instead of sugar

[Melsky]

one grated carrot in the sauce will add sweetness and vitamins too.

My Favorite Sauce recipe:

3 large onions
6 carrots
1 bunch celery
Two large cans tomatoes
Olive Oil

Note, there is NO garlic! It works well without.

Saute the onions until they are translucent. Add the carrots and celery, stir fry for about 5 minutes. Then turn the stuff down real low for about a half hour. It will start to smell really, really good! There is a chemical reaction in those three foods when cooked alone together.

Next, add the canned tomatoes and most of the liquid in the cans. Simmer for an hour or so, most of the sauce will cook off.

Serve over pasta, topped with lots of sharp romano cheese. Especially good with a salad and some garlic bread.

Even though I hated carrots and celery as a child, this was one of my favorite dishes.
