   soften vegetables over low heat for a few minutes.
   Add green tomatoes and saute a few minutes longer,
   until slightly softened.  Add broth, herbs, salt and
   sugar. Cover and simmer about 45 minutes, until
   tomatoes are completely soft.
   
   Process sauce in blender or food processor until
   smooth.  Return to pan, heat to just below boiling,
   add cheese, and stir until cheese is melted and sauce
   is thick and smooth.  Serve over spaghetti and garnish
   with fresh herb sprigs.
   
   The editors wrote: “Face it: some years, for some of
   us, the tomatoes never ripen.  What to do?  Eat them
   anyway.  The coriander, sugar and bland cheese balance
   the tartness of...green tomatoes in this brave recipe.”
