NO COOK Spaghetti Sauce!




                                       FRESH Spaghetti Sauce

Ever was in a hurry and you have no time to cook? Want to prepare something that can be ready in a few minutes and fresh?

Problem SOLVED!!!

This is the perfect idea for a weekday dinner using fresh tomatoes. When you are short of tomatoes, or you want to save even more time just go ahead and use a can of crushed tomatoes and I can assure you that its as tasty as if you used fresh tomatoes!

You can even used tomato pulp that you can do yourself. For recipe please click here.


Ingredients:


  • 700g fresh ripe tomatoes
  • 1 garlic clove crushed

  • 2 teaspoons caster sugar
  • 1/4 cup freshly chopped basil
  • 1/4 cup or 50g roasted pine nuts
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/3 cup or 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Pasta of your choice (Preferably Spaghetti)
  • Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese

Method:

  • Put tomatoes in boiling water
  • After few minutes remove tomatoes and peel. Remove seeds and chop them roughly. Reserve a quarter and set them aside
  • Put rest of tomatoes in a food processor and add the sugar, garlic, pine nuts, 1 tablespoon of basil and the tomato paste
  • Process until smooth
  • Whilst blending on slow speed, pour down the olive oil and you will notice that the sauce will thicken
  • Put the sauce in a glass bowl and add the quarter of the tomatoes that you set aside and leave for 30 minutes
  • Boil pasta in salted water and drain. Immediately stir in the sauce and combine well.
  • Add the chopped basil on top of the pasta and serve with the grated parmesan cheese.

Enjoy :)!
