Another meal, another chance to use up an item from our pantry. Last night's tomato sauce used up our last box of chopped tomatoes and a frozen (but thawed for the sauce) block of ground grass-fed beef from Hillacres Farm we recently purchased from the Headhouse Farmers Market. I had an extra head of roasted garlic on hand that I had kept in the refrigerator, and I decided it would make a good addition to this sauce. A smart decision, indeed! The sauce was served over a portion of rotini pasta (another item from the pantry!) and topped with fresh mozzarella.
