Ingredients:

8 cup very ripe tomatoes, chopped/ about 5 lbs.
1 cup onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tbsp fresh basil, finely chopped or 1 t. d
1 tbsp sugar
1 salt and pepper, to taste
6 oz tomato paste

Instructions:

We like to make this delicately spiced sauce in the
summer when fresh, ripe tomatoes are sweet and
plentiful. And the addition of fresh basil definitely
adds a gourmet touch Place chopped tomatoes in a
colander or strainer for 30 min to drain. Press down
with a spoon several times to squeeze out excess
liquid. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat add
onions, garlic and cook until onions are tender adding
a bit of water to prevent sticking about 5-10 min. Add
tomatoes, basil, sugar salt and pepper to saucepan and
bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer
uncovered 1 hour. Stir in tomato paste and continue to
cook 10 more min. Serve over your favorite shape of
pasta. Nutrition (per serving): 82 calories Total Fat
