With so many tomatoes to spare, I decided to experiment a little with dinner tonight... and I was very pleasantly surprised at my first attempt and I was more so surprised at how amazing fresh Tomato Sauce tastes!
So I have to write this down now, so I don't forget.
About 10 Brandywine Tomatoes from the garden
NZ Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 Cloves NZ Garlic Crushed
3 NZ Shallots Sliced
A few Basil Leaves
Free Range Pork Sausages, cooked, skinned & sliced.
Fresh Pasta
In the olive oil, lightly cook the garlic, shallots in a pan, add in the tomatoes and let reduce. I did this over a med-high heat and once it started to look like a sauce, I added in the basil leaves and sausages and let reduce further on a low heat, stirring occasionally, then cooked the fresh pasta.
Once the pasta was cooked, pour the sauce over and eat. Easy! I found it to be sweet and just yummy!
This was very simple & easy to put together.
I guess you could use any type of tomato and I started by peeling the tomatoes, but I found that fiddly and I thought what a waste of tomato. I'm sure there is some good stuff in the tomato skins too.
I was cooking for 2 and the above was just enough... but I could have made more, as I really loved the sauce.
Next time I might add some fresh Chilli or Pepper.
