Nomato Sauce...This could revive so many "missed" dishes in life! Not a nightshade in sight...

From food.com  Once I can use my Thermomix again, the prep time of 15 minutes will be three, making the whole thing ready and simmered in 40 minutes.  That's a high volume of vegetable matter, so I'll modify the methods, and just use the Thermomix to chop what's needed--still fast...  With that much to cut, I'd suggest a food processor, especially if you let one live on your countertop.  I like to be as efficient as possible in the kitchen--more time for blogging:)

Bolognese is back baby!

Nomato Sauce

12 carrots, peeled and diced
2 small beets, peeled and diced
2 large onion, diced
6 celery ribs, diced
2 bay leaves, whole
3 cups water
Place everything into a heavy-bottomed pot, bring to boil, simmer for 35 minutes, remove bay leaves, and puree.  Spice it up for whichever dish you're making...I don't actually see where there would be any calories to speak of...it's a veggie paradise, really.  I'll be trying this one with added fresh oregano leaves, some parsley, six cloves of garlic, and a wee, wee little bit of basil because I find basil can overwhelm everything.  Once it's cooked, I'll add a swirl of extra-virgin cold pressed olive oil to smooth out the flavours.
