CHEF NOTES:
• Just like any good sauce, it gets better with time, so if you’ve got it let this pomodoro simmer for a few hours to help concentrate those rich tomato flavors.
• You can use fresh peeled tomatoes, which you can learn how to prepare in my steak pizzaiola recipe, or canned San Marzano tomatoes.
• REHEATING POMODORO SAUCE: Simply add the sauce to a medium size pot and cook over low heat until hot.  Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.
• STORING AND FREEZING: Store the pomodoro sauce chilled and covered in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.  Pomodoro sauce freezes well and will hold in the freezer covered for up to 3 months. It will take a full day to thaw so be sure to set aside enough time if wanting to use it.

Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce Recipe » Classic Pasta Pomodoro

This is my favorite, best-ever easy recipe for authentic homemade pomodoro sauce. Serve with fresh pasta or dried, gnocchi and as a base for different Italian-style dishes (chicken parmesan, sautéed veggies, soups etc). This recipe makes approximately 1 quart of spaghetti sauce, which is sufficient for 1 lb of pasta.

Authentic Pomodoro Sauce (Fresh or Canned)

lb. (1.36 kg) fresh, ripe tomatoes

garlic clove, smashed

(50 g) finely minced shallots or onions

Salt

lb. (450 g) dried penne or spaghetti (or fresh homemade pasta)

tbsp (30 g) unsalted butter (optional)

tomatoes: tomatoes

are sauce

tomatoes

Try Butter. I love, love, love butter

Note

If using fresh tomatoes, you&#8217;ll need to blanch them first to remove the tough skins (see below). If using canned tomatoes, skip the blanching step and jump straight to cooking. You&#8217;ll need to chop them into small pieces first, and add to the pan with their juice.

Boil a large pot of water. Cut a small X on the bottom of each tomato (the skin will peel off easier). Blanch the tomatoes for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon; do not drain the pot of water. Run the tomatoes under cold water to stop the cooking process. Remove the skins with your hands- they should slip right off. Next, slice the tomatoes in half and scoop out the seeds (I do this over a bowl). Dice the tomatoes into small pieces. At this point, the blanched, chopped tomatoes can be stored in the fridge up to 4 days or frozen up to 3 months.

Save the blanching water to cook the pasta (or save it to water your plants or garden if not using right away). 

To Blanch Tomatoes:

In a large 12-inch (30 cm) skillet warm the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions or shallots (if using) until soft and translucent, 5-7 minutes. Add the smashed garlic clove; cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.

Add the tomatoes to the pan. Season with salt. Give it a quick stir with a wooden spoon. Bring to a gentle boil, lower the heat and simmer until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened, about 15-20 minutes depending on variety (the juicier the tomatoes the longer it will take to cook). Towards the end of cooking, tear the fresh basil leaves into small pieces and stir into the sauce.

To finish, remove the garlic clove. Puree the sauce with an immersion blender or regular blender to create a semi-rustic or smooth texture. Or, don&#8217;t puree at all- your choice. Your sauce. Taste and correct with more salt, if needed.

To Cook Pomodoro Sauce:

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Meanwhile, have your pomodoro sauce simmering and ready to go in a 12-inch pan (the pasta will finish cooking in the sauce). When the pasta is aldente, use tongs or a small strainer to transfer it into the pan. Add the butter if using, and stir well. Shave some parmesan cheese over the pasta; toss to coat. Simmer and toss for 30 seconds. Transfer your delicious pasta al pomodoro to a large serving bowl and garnish with fresh basil on top. Enjoy!

To Serve with Pasta:

Pour the tomato purée into the saucepan. Season the mixture with a sprinkle of dried basil and salt.

Stir in the honey to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.

Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.

Taste and adjust the seasonings and honey as desired.

whole, peeled tomatoes

butter

salt and pepper

In a large saucepan or medium to large pot, saute the chopped onions and minced garlic in the butter and olive oil over medium heat for 3-4 minutes.

Season with a little salt and pepper. The garlic should be super fragrant and the onion will be softened and beginning to brown.

Transfer this mixture to a blender and add the cans of tomatoes (the entire contents including the juices).

Add the basil leaves too. Blend until smooth.

Transfer the sauce back into your saucepan and simmer for another 20 minutes. This will thicken the sauce as well as deepen the flavor.

Taste and add more salt and pepper as needed.
