Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2-3 tablespoons olive oil (can also use butter)
1 large yellow onion (chopped)
2 garlic cloves, crushed (add more if you're a garlic lover)
2 lbs fresh ripe tomatoes, peeled and diced (- or 28 ounces of canned tomatoes, can be whole, diced or crushed )
1 tbsp sugar (optional)
Fresh basil (to taste)
Salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil or butter in a medium sized sauce pan.
  • Add the diced onion and crushed garlic, cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes and bring to the sauce to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat and add the basil - some can be chopped, but you can also add the stalks (they add flavor) and remove the stalks when the sauce is done. Add the sugar if using, you can also add the salt and pepper.
  • Cook the sauce over low heat for at least 30 minutes. Stir the sauce frequently with a wooden spoon and use the spoon to press and help breakdown the chunky tomato pieces.
  • For a smoother sauce you can use a hand held blender to break down the tomatoes if using whole or diced tomatoes. If you let the sauce cook for longer the tomatoes will naturally break down, or if you prefer a more chunky consistency you can skip the blender step.
  • Once the consistency suits your preference, the sauce is done and ready to use. For an extra taste of freshness you can add some freshly chopped basil when serving the sauce.

FRESH TOMATO WITH FRESH GINGER SAUCE



Fresh Tomato With Fresh Ginger Sauce image

This sauce is not a traditional Italian sauce, but don't let that stop you -- the surprise of fresh ginger in a tomato sauce is utterly delicious. This is a great sauce to make ahead and reheat when you need a really quick meal. To make this sauce even quicker, you can serve it unpureed or unmilled -- but I think the extra step of smoothing it out better distributes the ginger flavor. This sauce is superb with spaghetti or any long, thin, dried pasta. Recipe by David Rosengarten
