One word (well, 5): hermetic, peeled San Marzano tomatoes.<p>Sure, they aren&#x27;t fresh tomatoes. But they&#x27;re super tasty, nutritious, store and ship well, and they&#x27;re fairly cheap to boot. Try making a proper bolognese (<i>proper</i>, as in, start with frying up sofritto) using cans of San Marzano... O.M.G.<p>Conserved vegetables are awesome. Conserving even helps increasing the nutrient value by increasing bioavailability.
