A celery and tomato pasta with a celery leaves sauce

We haven't been to the grocery store in awhile because Doug went up to our son's place to help watch the kids while our daughter-in-law went to see her mother in the hospital. They called it "Two men, two babies and two dogs."

So I didn't have much to work with for dinner. I had some celery from our CSA box which also had some good lcelery eaves. I had some cherry tomatoes, some pasta and some goat cheese. And I had no recipe. So I decided to make my own sauce for the pasta.

The sauce:

zest of lemon

the juice from said lemon

1 cup olive oil

3 cloves of garlic (small ones)

1 cup fresh celery leaves

1/2 cup chopped onions

1 tsp chopped sage

I put it in my blender but you can use a blender or food processor and mix until its blended in.

We sauteed additional onions, garlic and celery stalks in olive oil in our wok.

We boiled water and added pasta according to the directions on the package.

When the pasta was boiled and the saute was done, we added the sauce and we mixed it with tomatoes and goat cheese and let cook until the tomatoes were hot and the goat cheese was melted in.

For a spur of the moment dish, it was really great.
