Ingredients
Scale
- 14 oz chopped tomatoes
- 9 oz shell pasta
- 1/2 onion
- 4 1/2 cups vegetable stock
- salt and pepper

Instructions
- Step 1: If you are using fresh tomatoes, roughly chop them. Chop the onion.
- Step 2: Add the tomatoes and onion into a food processor. Blend until you have a sauce-like texture.
