Wow, I congratulate you for your garden and your great vegetable garden, the list you have of everything you managed to plant is very long, I live in an apartment and the space is very small to plant, but despite that we have a pot where I planted basil, my wife in the tomato season makes a lot of sauce, and we pack them in this way we always have homemade tomato sauce, one of the ingredients is basil.
When I saw the broccoli I remembered a recipe I make, it is a broccoli sauce for spaghetti, it has broccoli and homemade mayonnaise, but only with the yellow part of the egg, of course a touch of salt to give a little flavor, and additional avocado, she puts it all in the blender and the result is a broccoli sauce, the girls love it.
I think growing one's own produce, even in small ways like you do with your available space, can be just as rewarding; it's all about the process and that excellent moment of harvesting and eating one's own vegetables and fruits.
Home grown tomatoes (and the sauce they make) is sensational! I'm glad you get to experience that.
Broccoli pasta sauce? I'll be digging a little deeper on that and seeing what I can find, sounds scrumptious.
I never did any research on it, as they say over there,
necessity is the mother of invention.
That was one day that in the fridge we only had an egg, a broccoli floret, and half of an avocado, and of course spaghetti, and my wife told me to make the mayonnaise, I helped her make the mayonnaise, with the yellow from the egg, then the broccoli with the avocado in the blender and finally the homemade mayonnaise, stir and ready, I'm sure you will like it.
Then, when we could make it again, we added bacon.
Excuse my bad English, regarding the tomatoes they were not grown by me, in the month of January is the biggest tomato season, and therefore it is very, very cheap, so we buy a lot of tomatoes to make homemade tomato sauce.
Sometimes it's good to eat simple food right?
I remember a time a while back when I didn't have much to go around...I had a small can of tomato and onion flavoured tuna fish, a little broccoli and some pasta...I finely diced the broccoli and stirred it, and the tuna, into the cooked pasta and it was pretty good. Basic, but did the job of feeding me.
Ok, I misunderstood. It's ok, no harm done.
