Fresh Pasta Sauce Base

"Often having very little time to cook, this meal allows for an easy, quick and healthy meal that you can throw together in the time it takes your pasta to cook. I already have pre-roasted garlic in the fridge to use in recipes like this which saves time. I use Mean Chef's Recipe for that:see recipe #79503. I have used garlic powder, dried basil and regular table salt as substitutions, but it doesnt taste at all the same. What's great about this "sauce" is it is a base to add just about anything you want to it, from seafood to veggies. It has a very plain and simple taste."
