Friday night pasta

Friday night pasta
Posted April 1, 2010 by Leah
I used tomatoes I had previously bottled that were prepared using Smitten Kitchen's recipe for tomato sauce with onion and butter. However, tinned tomatoes would be perfectly satisfactory. I also used spaetzle, a German pasta that I had floating around in the pantry - any pasta will be fine.
