    This Italian Tomato pasta sauce is one of the recipes which I make pretty often as kiddo is a Pasta buff and I like to keep the sauce handy, so whenever he wants to eat pasta, all I have to do is to boil the pasta and toss it in the sauce which is already in the refrigerator. So here is how to make a robust, full of flavours Tomato Pasta Sauce.

    Ingredients 

    • 1 kg Ripe red tomatoes
    • 4 tablespoon Olive oil
    • 2 tablespoon Garlic (Finely chopped)
    • 1 cup Onion (Finely chopped)
    • 8 – 10 leaves Fresh basil
    • ¼ cup Tomato Puree
    • Salt to taste
    • 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
    • ½ teaspoon Freshly cracked black pepper
    • 2 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Wash the tomatoes and make a cross section on the top using a sharp knife.
    • Heat water in a large pan and once the water comes to a boil, add the tomatoes in the boiling water.
    • Let them cook for 30-40 seconds.
    • Drain the water and let the tomatoes cool a bit.
    • Remove the skin of the tomatoes and cut them into halves.
    • Remove the seeds of the tomatoes.
    • Mash the tomatoes with your hands and add the torn basil leaves in the mashed tomatoes.
    • Keep aside.
    • Heat olive oil in a pan.
    • When the oil is hot, add garlic and fry for a few seconds.
    • Add onion and fry till they turn translucent.
    • Add the tomato and basil mixture in the pan.
    • Add tomato puree, salt, red chili powder, pepper and balsamic vinegar and cook for 15-20 minutes on low heat.
    • Remove the pan from heat and let the sauce cool for some time.
    • Transfer the sauce in the jar of a blender and blend it just once or twice.
    • I like my sauce a little chunky so I do not blend it too much. If you like your smooth, blend the sauce till it is smooth.
    • Store in a clean jar in refrigerator for up to a week.
    • Use as required.
