When life gives you lemons ... you make lemonade. When neighbors give you tomatoes ... you make pasta sauce. (and salsa and soup) I got some beautiful, fresh from the garden tomatoes from a neighbor so I decided to turn some of them into a fresh pasta sauce for dinner.
Fresh Spaghetti Sauce
3 Tablespoons oil salt and pepper
1 Tablespoon fresh garlic pinch of sugar
¼ cup fresh parsley pinch of red pepper flakes
¼ cup fresh basil
3 cups fresh tomatoes
Heat oil in skillet. Add garlic.
Add tomatoes, parsley, basil, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.
Cook 30 minutes.
Sometimes I serve my sauce just like this but this time, I decided to run it through a food mill to take out all of the tomato skins.
The result was a nice, smooth, bright flavored tomato sauce.
Toss with pasta and top with cheese.
Do those meatballs look familiar? I made a double batch of the turkey meatballs that I put in the minestrone soup and I served the extra's with my pasta dinner.
This pasta sauce was really similar to the sauce that we had while we were in Italy. Simple and delicious.
Ciao!
