Help save my dinner!

Hi,

I hope that someone can help save my poor dinner!

I'm cooking a basic tomato sauce and it's bubbling away nicely on the stove but I've added too much mixed herb... does anyone know a way to combat this taste?

It will be served over chicken and rice if that makes any difference whatsoever!

Thanks!

    Add more of the main ingredients to dilute the herbiness?

    I'd add another tin of tomatoes and maybe a dash of milk... You will have leftovers but it can be frozen and served on pasta another day!

    add more tomatoes and some ketchup or puree. a crushed clove of garlic will also help 'overpower' the herbiness.
  • Salvaged! Thank you for the help!
