INSTRUCTIONS
We like to make this delicately spiced sauce in the summer when fresh,
ripe tomatoes are sweet and plentiful. And the addition of fresh basil
definitely adds a gourmet touch Place chopped tomatoes in a colander
or strainer for 30 min to drain. Press down with a spoon several times
to squeeze out excess liquid. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat
add onions, garlic and cook until onions are tender adding a bit of
water to prevent sticking about 5-10 min. Add tomatoes, basil, sugar
salt and pepper to saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low
and simmer uncovered 1 hour. Stir in tomato paste and continue to cook
10 more min. Serve over your favorite shape of pasta. Nutrition (per
