My Sicilian Friends Cheap Garlic-tomato Sauce Recipe

	Kukla / All my dishes 8 months ago I have a Sicillian friend who - years ago - intoduced me to this quick, easy, garlicky sauce and she served it over freshly cooked, hot linguine, with shaved Parmesan on the side. I LOVED IT -- so much so, that I have used it as a marinade for grille... More Prep:5m Servings:1	Kukla

Ingredients

1 large can tomatoes, best quality (San Marzano, or home-made, if possible) in their juices

NOTE: if using fresh in-season, fresh, ripe tomatoes, remove the skins first.

4 - 6 large cloves fresh garlic (as you dare)

Salt (more than you think, depending on whether canned or fresh tomatoes, though)

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Best-quality extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

Put the fresh garlic cloves in a blender. Add salt to taste, pepper, and some (about 2 TBSPS per large can of tomatoes) olive oil.

Blend into a smooth paste. It will become almost "creamy-like" and lighter in colour once it's blended enough.

Add the tomatoes and their juices. Blend into a sauce, until little to no chunks remain.

Serve over hot linguine (no need to heat the sauce, as the hot linguine will do enough work) or use to marinate steaks (not too long; about 20 minutes will do) or shrimp.

OR...store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator until needed.

This looks wonderful and I have a bunch of fresh tomatoes I just rescued from my garden. Thank you!

I do this quite a bit in the summer, basil is really good in this recipe too.

A raw tomato sauce? Wonderful idea and the blending makes it saucy rather than lumpy.

Yep, you hit the nail right on the head, Legoflamb....raw tomato, raw garlic....all you need is the best olive oil, best tomatoes, and freshest garlic. Suace is ready before dry pasta is cooked, and in about the same time it takes to cook fresh pasta. Easy!

Hey kukla! made this sauce yesterday! It went down well. I used 4 cloves of garlic (2 were obese garlic cloves really), and that was way too much for my family I knew so i doubled the tomato content as i figured id use it up anyway! It blended so well, and was gorgeously smooth. I served with fresh penne and lots of parmesan - my family said it tasted like my italians aunts pasta! then i used what was left as a marinara dip for chicken. thanks again!
