Our garden is OVER FLOWING with tomatoes
I've bottled and preserved
We have:
tomato sauce
tomato chutney
tomato puree
bottled tomatoes

etc . . .
And then I remembered Mum and Dad used to make us home made spaghetti
A quick email to Mum
"May I have the 'secret' family recipe please"
An email in return

My aunt used to make spaghetti using the recipe in Edmonds cook book. We thought it was very exotic back in the 60s.
