Recipe: (Pasta Sauce)

• 2 lbs ripe tomatoes
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp fresh chopped basil

Directions:

1. Cut tomatoes in half and squeeze or scoop out the seeds and jelly. Run the tomatoes over the holes of a box grater or a mandolin to pulp the flesh. Discard skins. Alternatively, boil tomatoes whole for 1 minute then drop in ice water to peel the skin easily. Remove skins, seeds, and jelly and blend in a food processor.
2. Put tomato pulp in a saucepan on medium heat. Add olive oil, garlic, salt, tomato paste, and basil. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a gentle simmer.
3. Allow to simmer for about 10 minutes or until the sauce reduces to about half. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
