I take my some of the tomatoes- put em in the food processor -pulse them till them are almost mush, add olive oil, garlic, onion, basil and then pulse some more. Put em in freezer containers, suck the air outta them and then I have a mixture for sketti, lasagne or meatball sammiches. All I have to do is add other ingredients (tomato sauce, tomato paste or __________ <fill in the blank as to what the need is for that day's meals). I also freeze some whole, can them.
