Yield Makes about 3 cups (enough for 1 pound of spaghetti)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 lb ripe plum tomatoes (see cooks' note, below)
2 heads garlic, cloves peeled and halved lengthwise and any green sprouts from center discarded
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon hot red-pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Cut an X in bottom of each tomato and blanch in a large pot of boiling water 10 seconds. Immediately transfer tomatoes with a slotted spoon to an ice bath to cool, then peel, seed, and chop.

This sauce is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I always have a few extra on hand, and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes, but I really enjoyed this sauce. It's not too acidic and the garlic and herbs really balance out the flavor.

I love that this sauce is made with fresh ingredients. You can really taste the difference. It's so much better than anything you can buy in a jar.
