UNFUSSY BASIC TOMATO SAUCE (USING FRESH TOMATOES)
This is the way my aunt showed me years ago to make a simple, fresh tomato sauce. It can be used in many ways, of course most favour it over pasta. I didn't know her exact quantities but I found a very close version www.formerchef.com. If you're new to blanching & de-seeding tomatoes, it's pretty easy and I've put the instructions at the bottom...there are also lots of tutorials online showing you how. I've never tried it, but apparently this freezees well.

Steps:
- In a large pot, heat up the olive oil. Once warm, add the onions and cook slowly, on medium heat. Add about 1/2 tsp of sea salt. You want them to caramelize so low & slow is crucial or they may burn, this will take some time so start the onions off first and then work on your tomatoes.
- Once the onions are nicely cooked, add the garlic and dried herbs and cook for 5 minutes.
- Deglaze the pan with the wine and cook for 2 minutes more.
- Add the tomatoes and their juice and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook on low, stirring occasionally for about 2 hours. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- *Just how many tomatoes to use can be tricky. You want about 12 cups chopped and generally 1 large tomato will give you 1 cup, a medium tomato around 3/4 of a cup. You could also sub 2 of the large tins of tomatoes (28oz). If you do used tinned, you might want to add some sugar to cut the acidity.
- To skin a tomato, bring a large pot of water to boil. Once boiling, add the tomatoes in about 6 or 7 at a time. Leave them for about 20 seconds. Have a bowl of cold water with ice ready. Take them from the boiling bath to the cold bath to stop the cooking process. Repeat this for all the tomatoes. The skins have likely split by now and you can easily peel them off (or make a tiny split to start peeling).
- I seed tomatoes just using my hands to squeeze the seeds out, catch the juices with a strainer and then chop up what's left, discard the seeds.
- **If you opt to use fresh herbs, add them in towards the end.

Steps:
- Boil several quarts of water in a deep pot. Score the tomatoes top and bottom with an ''x,'' just breaking the skin, and add the tomatoes to the water. Let the water return to the boil and continue boiling 30 seconds. Remove the tomatoes, run them under cold water and peel off the skins.
- Slice the tomatoes in half crosswise, place a sieve over a bowl and, holding each half over the sieve, push the seeds and juice out and into the sieve. Press out the juice and save for another use.
- Lightly sprinkle the cut surfaces of the tomatoes with salt and let them stand 10 minutes. Gently squeeze them to get rid of any additional juice and coarsely chop the tomatoes.
- Put the tomatoes into a bowl and add lemon juice, garlic, basil, salt and pepper, adjusting seasonings to taste.
- Serve over hot, very thin pasta (capellini, for example), garnishing each serving with a sprig of basil and grated Parmesan.

QUICK FRESH TOMATO SAUCE
In August and September, when tomatoes are at their ripest, make a batch of fresh tomato sauce. At the market, look for the cracked, slightly bruised tomatoes sold at a discount. The flesh of the tomato should be dense, sweet and blood red. This makes a very fresh- and bright-tasting sauce in a manageable small batch. Take advantage of good tasty tomatoes and fill a few zip-top bags for the freezer.

Steps:
- Cut tomatoes in half horizontally. Squeeze out the seeds and discard, if you wish. Press the cut side of tomato against the large holes of a box grater and grate tomato flesh into a bowl. Discard skins. You should have about 4 cups.
- Put tomato pulp in a low wide saucepan over high heat. Add salt, olive oil, tomato paste, garlic, basil and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a brisk simmer.
- Reduce the sauce by almost half, stirring occasionally, to produce about 2 1/2 cups medium-thick sauce, 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and adjust salt. It will keep up to 5 days in the refrigerator or may be frozen.
