Hi GialloZafferano viewers and welcome to the kitchen. I'm Deborah and today we'll be making a traditional sauce from the Mediterranean -- Fresh tomato sauce. Let's see what ingredients we'll need:
• 2 and a half pounds of ripe plum tomatoes
• Salt
• Some fresh basil leaves
• Extra virgin olive oil as need
Let's make our sauce!
The first thing to do is to find the most healthy and unmarred tomatoes and wash them. Then cut the tomato in half and remove the base of the stem, squeeze out the seeds and pulp into a bowl, and then place them in a pot on a low heat to soften for about 15 minutes.
Once the tomatoes have become softened, you can run them through a food mill set over a bowl. Once you've run all the tomatoes through, put the resulting sauce back onto the heat for another 15 minutes.
Our tomato sauce is almost ready. I've already salted mine, and now it's time for a bit of oil, and the basil leaves which you can add whole or tear into pieces. Now mix, and then take the sauce off the heat.
Our tomato sauce is finally ready to use in your recipes. From GialloZafferano buon appetito and see you next time!

and than pasta, and finish, no?

[yellowsaffron]

@kiddybuff Yes, boil the pasta al dente and toss it with the sauce for a few seconds!

[ivangrozny27]

hmm so she scoops out the pulp...id have thought it easier to score the tomatoes and then put them in boiling water for a few minutes then remove the skin.

[yellowsaffron]

@ivangrozny27 It's another way to do it!

I made one yesterday using 5 roma and onion and garlic and it tasted like a mexican salsa dip and had a pale pinkish look, what went wrong???

[yellowsaffron]

@ikebanaJc Actually, I don't know what 5 roma is, perhaps it has too many spices in it...

[kkz201]

this a basic tomato sauce (fresh alternative to the canned) ....you add the garlic/onion/shallot etc into the dish you make....

[goodrob1985]
