 We like to make this delicately spiced sauce in the summer when fresh, ripe


 tomatoes are sweet and plentiful. And the addition of fresh basil


 definitely adds a gourmet touch Place chopped tomatoes in a colander or


 strainer for 30 min to drain. Press down with a spoon several times to


 squeeze out excess liquid. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat add


 onions, garlic and cook until onions are tender adding a bit of water to


 prevent sticking about 5-10 min. Add tomatoes, basil, sugar salt and pepper


 to saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered 1


 hour. Stir in tomato paste and continue to cook 10 more min. Serve over


 your favorite shape of pasta. Nutrition (per serving): 82 calories Total
