Fresh Tomato Sauce & Penne Pomodoro | Mama Anna's Authentic Italian Marinara Sauce Recipe

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Wash and dry the tomatoes, then cut them in half and sprinkle with salt and fresh basil. Let them sit for 20-30 minutes.

Fill jars with the tomatoes, ensuring no air pockets remain.

Seal the jars and boil them for 30 minutes.

Chop red onion finely.

Heat 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a pot and add the chopped onion, cooking until fragrant.

Blend the jarred tomatoes to make a smooth sauce, or leave them chunky if preferred.

Add a spoonful of tomato paste to the blended tomatoes and mix.

Simmer the sauce on medium-low heat for 20 minutes.
