Kala's pasta sauce

We don't really cook from a recipe, we just kind of thrown things together.  Mike did this one, here is what went into the last batch.
We let it cook/simmer in our Dutch Oven for about a day.  Then split it into freezer bags and we always have a low sodium, heathly sauce in the freezer to use.
This on had 3 freezer bag servings for paste and one smaller serving size for homemade pizza.
 
We don't put meat in the sauce, we add the meat by dish when we use it.
 
2 - 28oz cans of dei fratelli no salt tomato puree
2 - 28oz cans of Full Circile Crushed tomoatos with basil
2 - cloves of garlic - finely chopped
2 - onions chopped and sauteed
1 - jar of stewed tomatos give to us by a friend.
Seasonings to taste, Mike uses a whole bunch of stuff, I am not even sure what he used this time.

Chicken In Basil Cream

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup dried bread crumbs
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 (4 ounce) jar sliced pimento peppers, drained
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Place milk and bread crumbs in separate, shallow bowls. In skillet, heat butter or margarine to medium heat. Dip chicken in milk, then coat with crumbs. Cook in butter or margarine, on both sides, until juices run clear (about 10 minutes). Remove and keep warm.
  2. Add broth to skillet. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and stir to loosen browned bits from pan. Stir in cream and pimentos; boil and stir for 1 minute. Reduce heat.
  3. Add Parmesan cheese, basil and pepper. Stir sauce and cook until heated through. Pour mixture over chicken and serve!
