Though tomatoes aren't exactly in season right now, I wanted to follow up last week's COMFORT FOOD FRIDAY recipe with the alternative, fresh tomato sauce recipe.
Like when using canned, there are endless possibilities to adapt this to your tastes. I make sauce nearly every week, and never make it the same way twice. We call this particular sauce "quick sauce" in my family, and it's generally adapted to what vegetables are fresh that day. It's just about every Salamone's favorite sauce. This is my adaptation of Grandma's. She's magical and does everything to taste, without recipe, based on what's fresh from the garden. I'm getting there, and you will too. For now, here's some proportions...
Ingredients:
6-8 tomatoes, chopped (8 if they're small, 6 if they're big)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 whole onion, thinly chopped
1 whole garlic, minced
8 oz mushrooms
2 red peppers, chopped
1/8 cup white wine
salt, pepper, sugar to taste
In a large pan, over medium heat, mix all ingredients, and stir for 30 minutes. Serve over Todd's fresh pasta recipe from this website, or whatever pasta is handy. Have a nice slice of garlic bread and glass of red table wine.
