INSTRUCTIONS
Makes 6 servings.
A similar sauce, discovered while on vacation, became the basis for this
delicious creation. Guests seem to love it. Serve with a large salad and
garlic bread.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic and
cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 3 to 4
minutes.
Meanwhile, drain tomatoes, reserving juice. Add canned and fresh tomatoes
to a food processor and process until pureed.
Add pureed tomatoes, reserved tomato juice, olives, pine nuts, basil,
oregano, salt and pepper to skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover
and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, or until slightly thickened and onion is
tender.
Toss sauce with pasta and serve on warmed plates.
