Vom Fass Heirloom Tomato Sauce

Bill and I love a fresh tomato sauce over pasta and Kat’s recipe hit a home run in our kitchen this week.  Made with fresh local colored heirloom tomatoes, not only does it make a beautiful presentation, but it is healthy and delicious.  Add garlic toast and a tossed salad and dinner is done!

• 6 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 large shallot, chopped
• ¼ cup vomFASS Basil Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 tsp. Tabasco sauce
• 1 tsp. Sugar
• 2 TBLS fresh basil, chopped
• ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. In a medium size bowl add cube tomatoes, tabasco, sugar, salt and pepper and mix well. Let sit on counter to marinade for about an hour.
2. Sauté shallot and garlic in skillet with vomFASS Basil EVOO for 2 to 3 mins. Add tomato mixture and cook on medium heat 15 min or until tomatoes start to thicken.
3. Serve over pasta garnish with fresh basil and parmesan
