A hike up canyon from White's Landing, Catalina (August 2020) revealed buffalo, a Catalina Island fox, and much foliage. Starting in Cat Harbor where it was quite chilly and windy, we came around to the warmer side to find blue skies and warm waters. On the way home spotted two blue whales spouting as they glided along. Above, with the last few meals, a devised pasta sauce that is a keeper.
Recipe: Convergence Pasta Sauce
Like our Boat’s name, with this sauce all things come together.
Toward the end of a cruise, we tend to try to use up the provisions that we have.
No amounts are listed. This is a “leftovers” recipe, so use what you have and judge amounts accordingly.
Start with:
Onion, carrot, bell pepper, fresh tomatoes—chop finely. If you are near a food processor, use that for onions & carrots.
Begin with onions, carrots and cook in small amount of olive oil. Add bell peppers & tomatoes.
Add a little bit of water to steam and cook thoroughly. (about fifteen minutes on low)
Add salt, pepper, two or three cloves of garlic, basil ,oregano, paprika, catsup (or whatever red sauce you like).
Add some sort of cheese. I added spread cheese left over. It had a few spices of its own.
Cook for about 10 minutes on low heat
When ready to eat add red wine, heat, stir, serve over pasta.
