Pasta sauce from the garden

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¾ cup Carrot (in about 1/2 inch cubes)
½ cup Brocolli florets
¼ cup Brocolli stems (chopped into small pieces or sliced thin for larger stems)
½ cup Brocolli greens (cut into pieces no bigger than 2 inches per side)
4 Cloves garlic (sliced thin)
1 small Hot banana pepper (chopped fairly fine)
5 larges Basil leaves (chopped fine)
1 Handful oregano (chopped fine)
1 large Handfull flatleaf parsley (chopped fine)
1 Jar (small) tomato sauce (didn't have any tomatos ripe :()
½ pounds Ground turkey, browned and crumbled (ok, I didn't grow this either...)

Directions

Last night, I decided to experiment with whatever was ready in the garden... all measures are approximate and from memory ;*) pour 1 T basil olive oil into hot iron skillet. toss in carrots and broc stems. when begin to glisten, add garlic and pepper. when begin to cook, add broc florets. when begin to glisten, add tomato sauce and meat. add oregano and ½ parsley and heat thoroughly. add broc greens and basil and rest of parsley. when greens have wilted, serve over pasta.

Yummy and simple. Took about 15 minutes, would probably be even better with fresh tomatoes, instead of sauce.
