Fresh Tomato Summer Sauce Recipe

	Crabhappychick / All my dishes 4 months, 1 week ago I'm rushing the season, but here's my favorite fresh summer sauce. When the tomatoes and basil are taking over the garden, I fight back with this recipe. Freezes nicely for a little taste of the sun in the winter! Prep:6m Cook:10m Servings:6	Crabhappych

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil

2 onions, chopped

1 clove garlic, large, minced

2 pounds fresh tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped

1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

1 teaspoon sugar

salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes

Directions

Heat oil and saute onion and garlic until soft. Add tomatoes and rest of ingredients. Bring to boil, reduce heat and cook until liquid has evaporated.

Pour over pasta and serve with freshly grated parmesan.

Note: Make double or triple batches and freeze leftovers for the winter. Roma tomatoes are best, but you can use whatever you have in the garden. If you use beefsteak or other normal tomatoes, the sauce will be more liquid and you'll have to cook it longer to let that excess liquid evaporate.

This makes incredible chicken parm!
