Categories Sauce Onion Tomato Vegetarian Butter 3-Ingredient Recipes Pasta Dinner

Yield Makes enough for 1 pound dried pasta

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

2 pounds ripe tomatoes, or 3 cups canned whole peeled tomatoes with their juice
1 medium sweet yellow onion
5 tablespoons butter
1 1/4 teaspoons salt

Steps:

If using fresh tomatoes, peel them. Coarsely chop the fresh or canned tomatoes. Trim both ends of the onion; peel it and cut it in half lengthwise.
Put the tomatoes, onion, butter, and salt in a 4- to 5-quart saucepan over medium heat. When the tomatoes begin to bubble, lower the heat to a slow but steady simmer. Cook, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes, until the tomatoes are no longer watery and the sauce has reduced, about 45 minutes, depending on the size and shape of the pot. The sauce is done when the butter has separated from the tomatoes and there is no remaining liquid.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh sage (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh mint (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
3 medium-sized, very ripe red tomatoes
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound penne
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and when water has returned to a boil, add the penne, stirring with a long- handled wooden fork or spoon to distribute the pasta evenly.
While the pasta is cooking, proceed with the rest of the recipe. Chop the fresh herbs together briefly and place in a deep bowl in which you will serve the pasta.
Seed the tomatoes and cut them into small cubes. Add to the herbs in the bowl and mix together gently but thoroughly. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper if necessary or desired.
This step must proceed very quickly, so be sure your timing is right. Heat the olive oil over a medium high flame until it is very hot. When it begins to smoke, pour all at once over the vegetables in the bowl. Drain the cooked pasta and add it immediately to the oil and sizzling vegetables. Mix well. Serve immediately.
