In Oklahoma City today, the temperature was 101 degrees fahrenheit. Our herb garden and pepper plants are really flourishing in this weather. I decided to go out and harvest some basil for some tomato sauce on spaghetti. The sauce was very simple. 1 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes, 3 cloves of garlic minced, salt and pepper, olive oil, and a big handful of fresh basil chopped roughly. Simmer this together for 10-15 minutes and serve it over spaghetti cooked al dente and you’re in business for a fresh summer treat. Stay tuned for some more details on my suburban gardening.
