beppe, that comment about using ketchup on pasta earns you karma!! LOL!
With all this talk of tomato, last night I felt the need for pasta with a nice tomato sauce with meatballs. I used the last of the basil from the veranda, (so that's gone now, but the thyme, oregano, and rosemary will winter over nicely,) and the rest of the required herbs, onion, garlic, a couple of bay leaves, etc., etc. I browned some sausage flavored meat balls in the same oil I used to soften the onions, and added them to the pot with three cans of 'polpa di pomadoro.' A hour later we sat down to a nice dinner complete with garlic bread and a glass (or two) of Chianti!
