I'm trying to learn to buy groceries, cook for myself again.

Can't afford to buy and keep produce. Limited cookware. So, any recipe telling me to crush garlic, dice onions, etc, can't do.

Need budget, ghetto, for people on a fixed income, easy no frills way to make diy tomato paste pasta sauce.

Good suggestions so far. Tks. I have 1 bowl, 1 plate, 1 spoon, 1 fork, 1 butter knife ; 1 small sauce pan; Only stores nearby are corner stores. Hardly any produce. Having to make due with what you can find in a liquor store.

Tomato sauce (in pasta al pomodoro) only requires tomato, salt, olive oil, and basil; everything else is optional: garlic, onion, herbs, chilli.

See the following recipes:

The italian videos have english sub titles. Besides cherry tomato, you can also try mutti tomato puree, it is not so expensive but very tasty.
