Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 28 oz. plum tomatoes
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 3-4 tablespoons fresh parsley roughly chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Blend the plum tomatoes using an immersion blender, regular blender, or food mill.
- Add the tomatoes and seasonings to the pot and stir to combine.
- Simmer for 15 minutes or until ready to serve.
Notes
- This recipe yields 28 oz. which is sufficient for 16 oz. (or 1 lb.) of pasta. The nutrition information is per serving and there are 6 servings in this recipe.
- Optional Additions:
- Using Fresh Tomatoes
- Salt Pork: (2 oz. sliced thin.) Sauté in the olive oil for 5 minutes to add flavor to the pan. Discard, then add garlic and proceed as outlined.
- Finely Diced Onions: (3 Tbsp.) Heat with olive oil for 3 minutes before garlic is added.
- Fresh Basil: 6 leaves, sliced into strips. Stir in at the end.
- 28 oz. of fresh tomatoes can be used in this recipe. You can even make these easy roasted tomatoes or use my canned tomatoes for this recipe.
- To remove the skins: Cut the fresh tomatoes in half and place cut-side-down on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil for just a few minutes, until you see the skins pucker up and loosen. Let cool enough to touch and the skins will slide right off!
- 1 (28 oz.) can tomatoes = 3 cups undrained = 2.5 cups drained tomatoes.
