Simple Ground Chuck Pasta.

Being a food blogger, and having the passion to spend time in the kitchen, to produce new and delicious recipes, doesn’t mean that there aren't other times, when I don't want to spend much time in the kitchen, and just watch YouTube videos, which lately became a habit.

Fresh ingredients are the key to healthy and delicious food, but today I thought of taking a short cut, and used canned diced tomatoes.

When I opened, Hunt’s diced tomatoes can I didn’t smell anything chemical or strange, like I usually do with other brands, and that is the reason why I avoid canned diced tomatoes, instead it smelled like tomatoes.

The real surprise was when I poured Hunt’s diced tomatoes in the pan. I was like “Maaan! Are you serious?!”. I could not believe how fresh these canned diced tomatoes looked!

Have a look at the picture below, and tell me if it does not look like freshly diced tomatoes.

I went on cooking my ground chuck sauce, seasoned it, let it simmer for few minutes, and when it’s done, it tasted just like the one I make using freshly bought tomatoes.

One last thing about Hunt’s diced tomatoes, it has the skin on and some seeds, which I like, but some may be looking for skinless diced tomatoes.
