Until this weekend, I always thought that making tomato sauce for pasta was a time intensive, laborious, and tedious effort. After all, why should I go through all that trouble if I can just have sauce in 30 seconds from a jar?
Because it's freakin' easy, and WAAAY more delicious than anything a jar can make!
Here's the recipe for the sauce. It's from the folks at America's Test Kitchen. I suggest sprucing it up with your own ingredients -- a little more red pepeper and some red wine would totally add delicousness to this recipe.
Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons olive oil
3 Garlic cloves minced
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
3 Tablespoons minced basil
1/4 tsp sugar
Salt
Directions:
1) Cook the garlic in the oil over medium low heat. Until it is fragrant, but not browned
2)Stir in all tomatoes (not drained)
3) Simmer for about 15-20 mins
4) Stir in basil, sugar, and salt to taste.
5) Serve over pasta and enjoy!
To REALLY enjoy your pasta, toast my Garlic Butter onto some good crusty bread!
