Ingredients
- 5 pounds peeled fresh tomatoes or 3 28-ounce cans of San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ peeled and finely minced/grated yellow onion
- 4 finely minced/grated garlic cloves
- 12-15 fresh basil leaves
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
- cooked pasta
Instructions
- Add the tomatoes to a blender or a food mill and blend until smooth. Set aside.
- Add the olive oil to a large pot over low heat and add in the onions and garlic and cook until translucent, about 10 minutes.
- Pour the pureed tomatoes and stew over low to medium heat for 30 minutes. SEE NOTE.
- Finish by stirring in basil, salt, and pepper.
- Toss with pasta and parmesan cheese, or serve with any other dish.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can make this recipe up to 2 days ahead. Follow the reheating instructions below when serving.
- How to Store: Store the Pomodoro sauce chilled and covered in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. It freezes well and will hold in the freezer for up to 3 months. It will take a full day to thaw, so set aside enough time to use it.
- How to Reheat: Add it to a medium-sized pot and cook over low heat until hot. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.
- Like any good sauce, it gets better with time, so if you’ve got the time, let this simmer for a few hours to help concentrate those rich tomato flavors.
- While there are some differences between the two, they are subtle, so I want to encourage you to try both and see which one you like!
- You can use fresh peeled tomatoes, which you can learn how to prepare in my steak pizzaiola recipe, or canned San Marzano tomatoes.
- When it comes to olive oil, I use whatever is expeller pressed, organic, and on sale.
