“Pomodoro” means tomato sauce in Italian—simple yet bursting
with fresh flavors! You can stick to
tradition or tweak it by adding red pepper flakes or any ingredients your
family enjoys.
Pomodoro sauce stands apart from marinara in several ways,
but the standout difference is its texture. While pomodoro offers a smooth and
uniform consistency, Marinara leans towards a heartier, chunkier feel.
Ingredients
2 28-ounce whole cans peeled tomatoes
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ onion (yellow or white)
5 cloves garlic
8-10 basil leaves
salt and pepper
Instructions
In a large saucepan or medium to large pot, sauté 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 include 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.
Serve over cooked noodles and top with Parmesan cheese.
