Pomarola Sauce

I made and canned this sauce over the weekend with tomatoes from my CSA and basil that I'm growing in pots on my deck.  It's a very healthy sauce that is packed with lots of flavor.

Pomarola Sauce

20 Roma tomatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
12 basil leaves
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste


In a dutch oven or large saucepan, heat the olive oil and add in onions and cook until tender.  Add in minced garlic and cook for another minute.  Add in tomatoes and basil and cook over medium heat until tomatoes are softened.  Put sauce through a food mill to remove seeds.  Season to taste.
