FRESH PLUM TOMATO SAUCE
This is the closest recipe I've found to the deliciously simple tomato sauces I've tried in Italy. Since in the States our tomatoes aren't sweetened by rich, volcanic soil, a little bit of sugar helps make the sauce more vibrant.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and brown for 3 to 4 minutes. Add tomatoes, salt, and sugar; cook for 15 minutes.
- Place a large bowl on a work surface. Insert a colander inside the bowl. Place cooked tomatoes in the colander to drain, saving excess liquid. Transfer tomatoes to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until blended to the desired consistency. Return tomatoes to the saucepan. Add basil and cook for 20 to 30 minutes more, adding some of the reserved tomato liquid if the sauce is too thick.

FRESH PLUM TOMATO SAUCE
Steps:
- Peel tomatoes by scoring the skin of each tomato with a sharp knife (do not cut too deep). Then, place scored tomatoes into a pot of boiling water and boil for approximately 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Remove tomatoes and plunge into cold water. Peel and dice tomatoes and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan. When hot, add garlic and crushed red pepper. Saute until garlic turns slightly golden. Add chopped onion and saute an additional 2 1/2 minutes.
- Add chopped plum tomatoes and cook approximately 5 minutes. Add salt to taste. Add chopped parsley and extra virgin olive oil if desired, just before using.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best flavor.
- If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes. Just be sure to drain them well before adding them to the sauce.
- To remove the skins from the tomatoes, score an "X" on the bottom of each tomato and then place them in a bowl of boiling water for about 30 seconds. The skins will then be easy to peel off.
- If you want a smoother sauce, you can blend it with an immersion blender or in a regular blender.
- Add some fresh herbs, such as basil or oregano, to the sauce for extra flavor.
- Serve the sauce over pasta, chicken, fish, or vegetables.
