Since we move in just over a month, I've been put in charge of cleaning out our pantry and freezer as much as possible. Tonight's pasta dinner took care of almost an entire box of chopped tomatoes and a package of frozen tortellini. However, I did buy a bottle of olive oil today, as we recently ran out. Given our olive oil consumption rate, however, I'm pretty sure we'll finish it before the movers arrive.
Simple Tomato Sauce (printer-friendly version)
makes about 2 cups
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 cups chopped tomatoes (I like Pomi brand)
1 teaspoon dried oregano (I like to pronounce it or-ih-gah-no, like Nigella Lawson)
fine sea salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1. Add the olive oil to a medium-size sauce pot. Heat over medium-low heat.
2. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallot and cook until fragrant, around 2-3 minutes. Watch the garlic to ensure it doesn't burn.
3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes.
4. Season with oregano and salt and pepper to taste.
5. Reduce the heat and simmer until ready to serve.
