Pizza Rolls

Ingredients:

• 2 cups flour
• 2 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp marjoram
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 cup tomato sauce
• Optional: grated mozzarella

Method:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.Mix the flour, oregano, marjoram, baking powder and one tablespoon of olive oil. Add water in small amounts until a workable dough is produced. Knead briefly. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out very thin and flat on a floured countertop. Make sure the dough does not stick to the countertop. Using your fingers, spread the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil thinly over the entire surface of the dough.Using a spoon, spread tomato sauce very lightly over the dough. If you wish, sprinkle mozzarella cheese at this time. Using a pizza cutter, or a knife, cut the dough into vertical strips, one inch apart. Then roll up each strip, beginning at the end closest to you. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until browned. If you added cheese, you may need to bake them significantly longer.

Easy Vegan Pasta Sauce

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• half a small yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 6-8 small roma tomatoes or 4-6 large red tomatoes
• 1 small green bell pepper (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Method:

Sauté the onion and garlic in a saucepan. (Place the onions in the pan first, and add the garlic on top of the onion. This procedure will keep the garlic from burning.) Turn the heat to low or medium-low.While the onion and garlic are cooking, chop the tomatoes into cubes. An easy way to chop them is to slice them in half, then julienne the halves, and then chop the julienne slices into small cubes. Some people prefer large chunks while others prefer a very smooth texture close to purée. Either size works fine for this recipe and the cooking time does not need altering for large or small cubes.Place the tomatoes into the onion and garlic sauté and stir. Add the diced bell pepper (optional) and stir. Add the spices and stir again. Let simmer whilst preparing pasta. Stir occasionally, turning down the flame if it sticks.When the pasta is done, spoon the sauce onto the individual servings of pasta or mix with the entire batch, following your own custom.
