Fresh Yellow Tomato Sauce
Ingredients
- fresh yellow tomato sauce
- extra virgin olive oil
- 3-4 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 4 large yellow tomatoes, chopped
- black pepper
- 5-6 fresh basil leaves, chopped
Preparation
Add a generous coating of olive oil to a large sauté pan over medium heat
Add in garlic and let saute until lightly golden
Then add in the tomatoes and a nice pinch of black pepper. Let cook for about 10-12 minutes until the tomatoes are soft, stirring occasionally (note I don’t add salt to the sauce as that takes away from the sweetness, and I also add salt to the pasta water so you don’t want to overdo it)
After the tomatoes cook, turn off the heat and add in basil
Carefully pour the mixture into your blender (or you could use an immersion blender) and blend for a few seconds until desired consistency (it won’t take much time at all to blend it!)
Add back to the pan and serve with your pasta of choice
Note if you want a thicker sauce, you can let it cook again for a few more minutes in the pan after blending
