Chunkalicious Pasta Sauce Recipe
You start out with veggies that are chopped and sauteed. Pour tomatoes and tomato sauce over the veggies, add herbs and simmer. While the amazing aroma of simmering sauce is filling your home, assemble the rest of your meal.

Okay, wait for it, wait for it…. It collapses! Yes, you have the full size function of a strainer with the space saving ability to collapse! I have a large bulky strainer that is pretty and matches my dishes. To use it, I much pull two other bulky bowls out at the same time while trying not to break anything. It worked, but it was inconvenient.
The space saver strainer pops open for use, then smashes flat for storage. Look! I can hang it right inside my cupboard door, virtually wasted space until now.
