Instructions
- Clean the green tomatoes, chop them roughly and place them in a food processor. Blend roughly, it should not become a puree. If you are making more sauce, blend the tomatoes in batches.
- Chop the garlic. Heat the oil in a large nonstick saucepan. Add the garlic and stir continuously for 30 seconds, it should not darken.
- Add the tomatoes, vegetable broth, milk, sugar, chili, torn basil leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir well. Stir and simmer on low heat, covered, for 20-25 minutes until the tomatoes are soft. Stir often, as the sauce tends to stick at the bottom of the pan. Add a splash of extra water or milk if it thickens too much.
- Finish the sauce by adding the grated Parmesan, grated garlic clove, olive oil, chili flakes, basil, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the pasta according to the packet's instructions. Drain and reserve about ⅓ cup of the cooking water.
- Add about ¼ – ⅓ cup of the reserved pasta cooking water to the sauce if it is too thick. Mix with pasta and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you have more green tomatoes you can scale the recipe and freeze the leftover sauce. I've made a double batch with all the tomatoes I had in the garden.
- Made from a stock cube is absolutely fine.
