(this is mainly for Lisa who asked for this recipe and who always posts some really good recipes!)

*I do the ingredients to my taste so there aren’t exact measurments

  • 5-8 tomatoes (depending on how much sauce you are making.)
  • 1 TBSP olive oil
  • Onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • Fresh basil, chopped
  • Salt, Pepper, other dried italian seasonings to taste.
  1. Dunk each tomato into boiling water for 30 seconds, and then into a bowl of ice water. (this makes them super easy to peel)
  2. Peel, and seed the tomatos, and chop.
  3. Saute the garlic and onion in olive oil in a large skillet or sauce pan, for a couple minutes.
  4. Add tomatoes, basil and seasonings, and simmer for 2-3 hours. Stirring occasionally.
  5. Add to pasta, and it’s delicious! OR freeze for later, which I hope will be just as delicious!

    Haha! It’s funny when I read my name somewhere and for a brief moment think someone is talking about me. Yeah, I KNOW you would never mention me in the same sentence as a recipe or cooking in general, as I am culinarily challenged.
