Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 lbs cherry tomatoes
1 onion, finely diced
salt, to taste
2 cups dry pasta (I use fusilli)
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, very finely grated
10 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet, over a medium heat.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes, onion and salt. Stir frequently. This mixture will need to cook for about 25 minutes until the sauce has developed.
  • When the tomatoes soften and the skins start to burst, press on them to release the juices inside. Once the majority of the skins have burst, it does not need stirring more than once every 5 minutes.
  • Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package, so it will be ready in time for the sauce.
  • After about 25 minutes, the tomatoes should all have split and the juices should have created a sauce. Stir in the mascarpone cheese until melted and blended in.
  • If desired, use a blender or hand-blender to puree the sauce, otherwise it can be left chunky.
  • Add the parmesan cheese and basil leaves to the sauce, stir and serve on top of the pasta or mixed together with the pasta.

Time 10h40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 lb bacon
olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
28 ounces diced tomatoes
salt
pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup basil
8 ounces mascarpone cheese

Steps:

  • Chop the bacon up and brown/crisp it in a saucepan with olive oil. Once crisp, deglaze pan with balsamic vinegar and stir all together and salt and pepper to taste. Add tomatoes and garlic powder and cover pot, simmering over low heat and stirring occasionally for 30 minutes.
  • Add basil and mascarpone cheese and fold everything together gently, allowing the cheese to melt thoroughly. Keep on low heat, stirring occasionally, for another 10 minutes.
  • Serve over pasta or meat. We have even mixed this with diced cooked potatoes.

Tips:

  • Use High-Quality Tomatoes: Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best flavor. If using canned tomatoes, opt for whole peeled tomatoes and crush them yourself to retain their natural texture.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, thyme, and oregano add a burst of flavor to the sauce. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
  • Don't Overcook the Sauce: Tomato sauce should simmer gently for about 30 minutes to develop its flavor. Overcooking can result in a bland, watery sauce.
  • Add a Touch of Sweetness: A pinch of sugar or a drizzle of honey can balance the acidity of the tomatoes and create a more well-rounded flavor.
  • Season to Taste: Always taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasoning accordingly. Add salt, pepper, and other herbs or spices as needed.

Conclusion:

Tomato mascarpone sauce is a versatile and delicious sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. Its creamy, rich texture and vibrant tomato flavor make it a popular choice for pasta, pizza, and even as a dip for vegetables. Whether you prefer a simple sauce made with fresh tomatoes and herbs or a more complex sauce with added ingredients like mascarpone cheese or cream, there is a tomato mascarpone sauce recipe out there to suit your taste. Experiment with different recipes and ingredients to find your perfect combination.
