Description
When tomatoes are in season this simple tomato sauce will put them to good use. It’s cooked just long enough to develop a richness without losing that summer-fresh flavor of the tomatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 lbs of roma tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 large garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup torn basil leaves
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes and onions and cook them for 30 minutes or until the tomatoes are broken down and the liquid has thickened.
- Add the garlic and salt and cook the sauce for five minutes longer. Add the basil, stir, and the sauce is ready to use.
- If you are not using it right away it will keep in the refrigerator for three to four days.
