I really love the flavor of this sauce - I've been seriously craving it ever since I made it. The tomatoes with the sweet onions, garlic and herbs is just too good.
3 medium sized fresh tomatoes
1 28 oz. can whole, peeled or diced tomatoes in tomato juice
1 medium onion
3 cloves garlic
a little fresh oregano or basil (or both), stems removed
extra virgin olive oil
sea salt
Dice the onions and mince garlic. Cut tomatoes into quarters. Heat a saucepan or dutch oven to medium heat. Add a couple tablespoons of olive oil, fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes, onion and garlic. Throw in the fresh herbs and about 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt. Simmer for 30 minutes, or until the tomatoes have burst and the veggies are tender. If you like things spicy, add some red pepper flakes at this point. Puree it in a blender or food processor (I puree about half of mine and leave the other half chunky).
Toss with 1/2 pound of whole wheat pasta and top with grated parmesan.
serves 4-6
