Pomodoro

Pasta always hits the spot... paired with a beautiful sauce & it makes for the perfect meal. Pomodoro is literally translated to "golden apple," pomodoro is Italian for "tomato" (the first tomatoes in Italy were a yellowish color). But my pomodoro sauce is a sumptuous & thick red. If you have the right texture & flavor, along with acidity (taste the sauce as it simmers every 15 minutes to see if you need to add sugar or salt...) the tomato does not need many additions...

Enjoy!

Pomodoro Sauce

• 2 TBSp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (28-ounce) can chopped tomatoes; Put them in a food processor or a blender until they're the consistency you like (We like pureed, for a creamier sauce.)
• 1 tsp sugar
• Kosher salt or sea salt
• pinch of dried parsley
• fresh basil

Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a saucepan.  Add the tomato puree, allow to heat through, then add the minced garlic & parsley, stir.

Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. 

Cook approximately 30 - 60 minutes, until the sauce slightly thickens. Stir & check it occasionally. Add sugar & salt according to taste during simmering...

Add freshly-chopped basil right before serving
