how to stop with ketchup tunnell :-)


If you are thinking to put ketchup in your pasta or noddles or what else that is not a French fry or hamburger , Stop!!! I have to suggest you almost 3 ways to do it without ketchups ;-)

First suggestion, this is how my grand-mum often do: with a concentrated tomatoes sauce, you can easy find it in tubes, can or tetra-pack and look like this:


The use is the same as ketchup, just put it in the same quantity ( or maybe a little more ).

Second option is a "passata" of tomatoes, usually this is available in bottles at mall , is much fresh than concentrated sauces. Is available also ready for pasta (with onions, olive, even minced meat or what else you like)
Last option is "do it yourself" with some fresh tomatoes , or a can of tomatoes pulp. Of course I prefer this , cos in prepared sauces there's always a large amount of chemical compound-preservative and strange ingredients to add colors or fake aroma with strange codes and labels  (also available in best ketchups!! :-)) ).
The basic sauce is very easy , you just can put some olive oil in a little pot , add some salt , a pinch of sugar and the  tomatoes  (previously minced with a mincer) :-)))
