This is such a quick,and easy weeknight dinner its ready in under thirty minutes and tastes so delicious and fresh. I make this all the time for my family and it never disappoints, I mean how could pasta ever disappoint? All you need is some tomatoes, parmesan, garlic, and my secret weapon, basil olive oil! This sauce comes together so quickly, and with a last drizzle of basil flavored olive oil it always tastes fresh and like it's come straight from the garden!
Pomodoro Sauce
2 tablespoons butter
half of a yellow onion chopped
1 minced garlic clove
28 oz. can of crushed san marzano tomatoes
salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed, dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons basil olive oil
1 lb of pasta
To make your sauce, start with by adding your butter into a saucepan. Chop the half of an onion and mince your garlic and add it to the melted butter over medium heat. Let the onion soften while you fill a pot with water to boil your pasta. Next, add the crushed tomatoes into your saucepan, add a sprinkle of salt and let the tomatoes heat through. Once the tomatoes have been cooking for a few minutes add your crushed rosemary and garlic salt. Let the sauce cook over medium low heat and give it a few stirs before you add your parmesan cheese. When you add the cheese stir well until it's all incorporated, depending on how processed your cheese is you may get some lumps, but they'll slowly melt and it's still delicious. The higher quality of parmesan the fewer lumps! Once the parmesan is incorporated turn off the heat and drizzle in the olive oil stir and taste for seasoning, salt if needed. The basil olive oil really gives this such a freshness, and it's not as hard to find as you might think. I've found it at tj-maxx many times as well as ordering it on line, Nudo is one of my favorite brands. Not to fear though, if you can't find basil olive oil the sauce will still be delicious with out it! Lastly, pour your sauce over your noodle of choice and mix well, serve immediately with extra cheese!
