[recipe] Easy Tomato Sauce for lasagne or casseroles ~ vegan

[Guest guest]

This sauce recipe is super easy and very quick to make.

i got the recipe from some little index cards called

Hawaiian Vegetarian Recipes as a gift back in 1990

when i was leaving the islands. So many of those recipes

i still use often and this is one of them.

Don't fret about measuring here, just " eyeball it " ,

as Rachel Ray says.
