Best Canned Tomatoes...San Marzano!
A 10 minute simmer...
Fresh Basil...
Toss with some Gnocchi...That will stick to your ribs!Hi everyone...we've been kind of busy around here and I'm sorry for the lack of posts....I hope this quick sauce recipe will make up for it!
You don't have to use San Marzano Tomatoes if you can't find them, but they are available at my regular supermarket (Publix). They are the very best and have a wonderful taste. I use Flora's brand and Flora's has their own section in the store. I also use their Gnocchi. As with any sauce use it with whatever pasta you like. Adding fresh Basil really brightens up the sauce.
Ok let's do it!
2 Tbls Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 Large Sweet Onion
2 Large Cloves of Garlic minced or 1 Tbls prepared minced Garlic
2 28 oz cans of Tomatoes any brand
2 Bay Leaves
1 heaping Tsp dried Oregano
1 Tsp Sugar (This cuts the acid in the tomatoes)
3 large Basil Leaves - San Marzano Tomatoes come with Basil in it...still add the fresh.
Saute the Onion in the oil till tender and translucent
Add Garlic and saute till garlic is softened as well.
Pour in the Tomatoes and crush them with a wooden spoon.
Add the Bay Leaves,Sugar, Oregano, and Basil.
Cover & bring to a simmer.
Simmer for 10 minutes
With a slotted spoon fish out the Basil Leaves and the Bay Leaves
It is now ready to serve...there will be plenty, put some in a container for later in the week or freeze for next time.
For the Gnocchi just follow the directions on the package.
Enjoy
