Simple Tomato Sauce
|
For Ravioli and Tortellini recipes, this is probably the most common of all of our sauces, simple to make,
but quite light and delicious.
2 pounds, fresh ripe tomatoes, peeled, quartered and seeded
1 large white or yellow onion, coarsely chopped
6 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 cup, fresh parsley, finely chopped
* cup, olive oil
* teaspoon, finely ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon, dried oregano
1* cup, dry white wine
1 teaspoon, salt
|
Plunge tomatoes into boiling water until skins split, then remove
and
allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
Peel tomatoes, cut them lengthwise
into quarters, and remove most of the seeds.
In a deep-sided medium sized
skillet, sauté onion, garlic, parsley, pepper, and oregano, in olive
oil.
When onion is translucent, add wine and tomatoes. Reduce flame and
allow to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring and crushing tomatoes.
Add salt
to taste.
This sauce may be mixed with many forms of spaghetti. We
preferred spaghettini and bucatini. The amounts of ingredients given
above will be enough to lightly coat 2 pounds of pasta. Sprinkle with
freshly grated Parmesan cheese when serving.
Note: We often added a couple of tablespoons of capers to this sauce. At
other times, we added a few mashed anchovies, halved and pitted Greek
olives, or coarsely chopped fresh basil.
