Simple tomato sauce from The Art of Simple Food: Notes, Lessons, and Recipes from a Delicious Revolution (page 264) by Alice Waters

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Polenta torta; Chard frittata

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    It is simple. If you're pressed for time or short on ingredients this will work.

    i skip the food mill and run it through my vitamix, gets all emulsified and almost creamy. i can eat it by itself, so good.

    Perfect to make when you have fresh summer tomatoes to use up. Double or triple. Freezes really, really well.

    Made several times. A very versatile sauce with many uses beyond pasta. Good to make with garden tomatoes for freezing, but can also be made with canned tomatoes. Several variations are given. Time to make: <30 minutes. P265.
