Fresh Tomato Sauce with Pasta





15 Ripe tomatoes (I peel and seed mine. To peel, make an X on the bottom of the tomato, drop in boiling water for 60 seconds and the peel will come right off.
1 large onion finely chopped
1/2 stick of butter
Olive oil (2 tbs)
Sea salt and pepper
1 lb of Penne
Fresh Basil

In a large saute pan add your butter and oil. Add in your chopped onion and saute for 5 minutes. Add in your chopped tomato, salt and pepper and let cook for about 15 minutes. During this time smash the tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon.
Add your cooked pasta to the pan and saute for 5 minutes in the sauce. Serve with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.

Have lots of Eggplant?
*You can also cube eggplant and fry in oil for 5 minutes and toss this in too. This would now be Pasta alla Norma.
