Fresh Tomato Sauce

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons of extra virgin pine nut oil
  • 1 pound of tomatoes, very ripe
  • 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, coarsely ground
  • 10 basil leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons of parsley, chopped

Process

Coarsely chop the tomatoes and place in a bowl. With a gloved hand or a potato masher, crush the tomatoes to help release some of their juices. Add the rest of the ingredients mixing well, cover and allow to marinate at room temperature for 2-3 hours before using. Serve on pasta, or with grilled chicken or fish.
