Supper turns recipes like this into a planned week and a sorted grocery list — then walks you through cooking, hands-free. Coming soon to iOS.
Ingredients
Serves 6- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup finely diced onion
- 3 lbs. fresh tomatoes ((I typically use plum tomatoes))
- 4 cloves garlic, (minced (about 4 teaspoons total))
- 6 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs ((such as a combination of basil, oregano, and parsley))
- For serving: cooked pasta; grated Parmesan cheese; additional fresh herbs
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper, (to taste)
Open in Supper to scale servings and turn this into a grocery list.
Steps
- Step 1
Quarter the tomatoes and use your fingers to quickly scoop out most of the seeds. It helps to run the tomato under cold water to get any extra seeds out, and don’t worry – you don’t have to be meticulous about it.
- Step 2
Puree the tomatoes in a food processor until mostly smooth, leaving some good chunks for texture in your sauce. Transfer the tomatoes to a colander and set them aside to strain off the excess liquid (you do not need to squeeze the tomatoes totally dry).
- Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 more minute. Add the strained tomatoes and the fresh herbs; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low; simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Step 4
Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Depending on the sweetness of your tomatoes, you may need to add a dash of sugar as well. Serve over pasta and garnish with cheese and additional fresh herbs.
Interactive, hands-free timers are available in the Supper app.
