Quick plum or cherry tomato sauce.

The hours before dawn find me either working, reading, walking or preparing to go fishing. This of course is after getting out of bed which is no easy chore and brewing the morning blend of coffee. On occasion I may surf the television to see what I am not missing as was the case today.
For those that know me , The Food Network and anything Giada is making at the time is my favorite.From a strictly heterosexual stance Tyler Florence gets the nod and than there is the Pamela Anderson of the cooking world Sandra Lee or I think but who cares. If you listen closely most cooking shows they either directly tell you what ingredients you need creating and driving business for their sponsors or they calmly explain that if you do not have this ingredient use whats lying around your house.
A quick inventory of my immediate surroundings revealed two dogs, gecko,  hermit crab, chips left behind by daughter along with three partially empty soda cans,a sucker and warm milk. Immediately  my imagination took me back to the hospital with some unknown ailment which would finish me off . The episode included chicken in panko crumbs and artichoke hearts and the famous line use what you have lying around.
Fast forward now and I am hungry and have been thinking about this recipe all day long but do not want to go shopping and spend twice as much on the UN-planned food . I resist temptation and go directly home to find my bride is visiting with an ole college friend, I need to be polite and spend some time talking but food has been branded on the brain.
Now I can only eat pasta every seventh day and truly look forward to the experience.I will not make comparisons to being a junk, needing, wanting and craving the next fix but admittedly I am.
I exit to the kitchen and inventory my needs.
Barrilla, Penne Ragatti
Cherry Tomato's
Garlic
Butter
Olive Oil

Onions ,but at the last second put them back as my youngest has not learned to appreciate the wonderful onion.
I walk to the deck where I cut some chives, basil  and rosemary.
I finally check the freezer and find a package of Jubilee Garlic Sausage Links which I keep at least six packages of on hand.
Now back in the kitchen I can asses my inventory and it looks like a go. I run to the basement and grab one can of diced tomato's of the Green Giant Variety.
