Time 20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, good quality and organic if possible
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
4 -5 large tomatoes, fresh frozen, skinned and chopped up (keep the juice!)
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (use a variety of flavored basils, especially lemon if you have it)
1/2 cup chopped roasted red pepper (optional)
1 pinch sugar, to taste
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
cooked pasta, of your choice (8 to 10 servings worth)
grated parmesan cheese, for garnish
fresh basil leaf, for garnish

Steps:

  • Fresh frozen tomatoes: pick juicy tomatoes, make sure they are clean and dry, then pop them in a Ziploc bag, single layer; label your bag with date and put flat into freezer; when ready to use, just take out as many as you need and run them under hot water (or put then in a bowl of hot water) and after a minute or two the skins will peel right off, then just chop and use; use these instead of canned tomatoes.
  • In a hot sauce pan or small wok, put in olive oil and fresh garlic; stir and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes together with their juice and let simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the cream, basil, salt and pepper, and roasted peppers (if using), and bring to a simmer them it through.
  • Serve over cooked pasta, garnish with parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.
  • Also good over baked halibut, grilled shrimp, chicken, or grilled vegetables.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out too thick. I had to add some water to thin it out.
