I had a can of San Marzano tomatoes opened up from what i used on friday for pizza, so I decided to make fresh marinara sauce, garlic, shallots (i had onion but half a large shallot left) and some basil I stole from my old neighbor's garden.. came out great, and i used the Buitoni brand fresh cheese tortellini... i will use the rest later in the week to try it with a cream sauce... good stuff!


PS - Happy Columbus Day to ALL! I can remember when it actually was a holiday years ago...
