This was simply delicious! I only put the tomatoes in the boiling water for 5 seconds and they started peeling. I also cut them in half and took the seeds out. I added the salt when I was crushing the garlic so I didn't add any more to that. The only thing I would do differently is to add 1 or 2 more tomatoes because it was so good and gone too fast!
Simple fast and delicious. Skipped the cold water bath. Easily removed the skins and used a potato masher to instantly get the authentic chunky texture I wanted without dicing/blending. 5 medium tomatoes served two adult sized portions.
Excellent. Surprising complex for such a simple recipe. I can't wait to try it with fresh heirloom tomatoes next year!
This a 5 star recipes all round. Easy - Fresh - absolutely perfect for a light summer meal. In the time it takes to boil your water and cook the pasta this sauce is done. I used an immersion stick blender right in the pot to puree the tomatoes. I used both green and purple basil and I stirred in some fresh halved cherry tomatoes at the end along with the basil. Thanks for a great recipe. I will be making this all summer long.
I didn't know what I was missing having grown up on the jarred stuff until I made this. I made one serving; cut the EVOO to 1 tsp to save calories and used 5 smallish basil leaves. Also per another reviewer mashed my tomato instead of pureeing it. SO GOOD.
This was a wonderful sauce! I love it's simpliciity. When making larger batches you do need to remove the seeds.
Delicious! Very easy. Followed recipe exactly. Fresh and light. Will make every summer when I have an over abundance of ripened tomatoes.
This is a great recipe! I have a ton of heirloom tomatoes from my garden so I used a lot more than the recipe required. I didn't boil the tomatoes because the skins peeled off easily. It took me about 30 minutes to cook it down to a consistency I liked. I also added much more basil because I had extra in the refrigerator and a dash of garlic salt. Delicious! I'm licking the bowl.
Fast and Easy and extremely Tasty!!!!
