BASIC NOMATO SAUCE (TOMATO FREE TOMATO SAUCE)
This recipe comes from the Interstitial Cystitis Network site at www.ic-network.com/bev/april00. We enjoy it just as much in spaghetti and enchiladas as tomato sauce. One batch makes the equivalent of 2 larges cans of tomato sauce (4 cups) so I use half the batch and freeze the other half in a freezer bag for next time. I find that I have to add about 25 percent more spice than I did when I used tomatoes.

NO TOMATO PASTA SAUCE
My husband can't eat tomatoes so I came up with this so we could have Italian once in a while! Serve over cooked pasta or use instead of canned tomatoes or sauce in any recipe - just change the spices! I now use this as a base for chili, goulash and pizza too!

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your sauce a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
- Roast your vegetables before adding them to the sauce: This will caramelize them and bring out their natural sweetness. To roast your vegetables, simply toss them with olive oil and salt and pepper, and then roast them in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes, or until they are tender and browned.
- Use a good quality olive oil: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your sauce. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is made from olives that have been harvested early in the season. This will give the oil a more fruity and flavorful taste.
- Add some herbs and spices: This will help to brighten up the flavor of your sauce. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Let your sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. The longer you simmer your sauce, the better it will taste.

No-tomato pasta sauces are a delicious and versatile way to enjoy pasta. They are perfect for people who are allergic to tomatoes or who simply don't like the taste of them. With a little creativity, you can easily make a no-tomato pasta sauce that is just as flavorful and satisfying as a traditional tomato sauce.
