Whilst waiting for the pasta to do its thing, the solar oven was opened up to pre-heat. I made my sauce by sweating two chopped Vidalia onions in 1 Tablespoon tallow/olive oil. When soft, I added 8oz of my hamburg-beef heart mixture, 4oz. chopped mushrooms, 8oz. of last year's roasted tomato-pepper mixture, 1/2 tsp. stevia leaves, 1/4 tsp. each of oregano, thyme, and sweet basil; 1/8 tsp. mace, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, salt and pepper to taste.
