@zeppenwolf that's my fresh tomato sauce recipe, very simple.

  • 10-12 Ripe San Marzano or Datterini or Cherry tomatoes,
  • Fresh basil leaves, 6
  • black ground pepper to taste
  • 2 peeled garlic cloves
  • Extra Virgin olive oil, 3 tbsp
Method

Wash the tomatoes. In the final part of each tomato, remove the green petiole with a knife and in the other part of them, making a small incision with the knife so that it can be easily peeled once removed from the water. Heat unsalted water in a pot. As soon as it is near to boil, dip tomatoes and blanch them for a short time - they should not be boiled - at least you can count to 20'' and then remove.

Fill a bowl with ice water or ice. Once you have removed the tomatoes from the boiling water, you will have to immediately plunge them into the ice to stop cooking.

Do not throw away the cooking water, it will serve to cook the pasta that will absorb the properties released by the tomatoes . Put them now on a work surface and start to peel them one by one, maybe helping with a knife.

Heat Evo oil in a pan, add crushed garlic cloves and brown them. Now add the peeled tomatoes, you can also crush them a little with a fork, add a pinch of black ground pepper, chopped leaves of fresh basil and cook for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you feel the acidity of the tomato, you can add a half carrot, it helps to eliminate it.
