Cherry Tomato Pasta Sauce
This cherry tomato sauce recipe tastes great on pizzas, pasta and anything Italian. The cherry tomatoes give it an amazing flavor. Simple ingredients- cherry tomatoes, olive oil, spices and sugar.
Equipment
- 1 large cooking pan 5 qt
- food mill optional
- immersion blender optional
- potato smasher
Ingredients
- 4 cups cherry tomatoes washed
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tsp italian seasoning or to taste
- 4 tbsp minced garlic to taste
- 2 tsp sugar to taste
Instructions
- in a large 5 qt pan. Sauté the garlic in the olive oil on medium high heat for about 5-6 minutes. Be careful not to burn the pan.
- Next, add the remaining ingredients. Let simmer for about 30 minutes, use a potato smasher to mash the tomatoes into sauce. Continue simmering on medium heat until the sauce is thickened to your liking. This will depend on what you will be using the sauce for.
- If you would like the sauce to be more smooth, with less peels, use an immersion blender. We did not. Can also use a food mill to remove some skins and seeds-again, I did not use. Enjoy!
Notes
Notes: can use food mill to remove the skins and seeds.
Can use immersion blender to smooth more.
I have not tried this recipe with other varieties of tomatoes- it would likely still work but the taste wouldn't be as sweet.
