When we know we are about to get really busy, we try to make a really big batch of pasta sauce. It takes a bit of time to chop all the vegetables (a large sodoku knife comes in really handy to gain speed ), but it is so practical to have some real home made food in the fridge and the freezer. This recipe is so simple and delicious. 

Ingredients:

-3 Tbsp olive oil

-3 Large cloves garlic finely chopped

-2 Medium red onions finely chopped

-1 Large green pepper finely chopped

-4 Stalks celery finely chopped
