i am slightly embarrassed that this was dinner the very next night, after that alfredo hardly even got a chance to get outta there... comfort food. tis the season.
i made a really amazing and simple chunky tomato bisque. in my heavy bottomed large frying pan, i sauteed two big yellow onions chopped rough and about 6 cloves of garlic chopped fine- in olive oil. deglazed with some old syrah. chopped 4 big tomatoes and those went in.
then for the secret weapon- this stuff called SCHIAVONE'S hot & spicy spaghetti sauce. i get it at IGA and i have no idea if it is sold at any other place in the world. it kinda looks like maybe it is one of those things IGA keeps around for some very old customer who loves it. but now i love it too.
stewed all that for a bit, cooked the tomatoes down and doused them with salt and pepper. added a box of stock, a pint of cream and heated. pureed, but not very obsessively, then heated again.
in the meantime, griddled some cheese sandwiches for dunkin.
