Recipe: SaSa's Salsa di Pomodoro

This sauce is quick and fresh. It will dress approximately 1½ pounds of pasta.

Olive oil (not virgin), about ½ cup

3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped

1 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley

2½ pounds fresh tomatoes (or two 32-ounce cans). If using fresh tomatoes, they can be peeled and seeded or not.

½ cup chopped fresh basil (you can adjust the herbs to your own taste)

Pecorino or other favorite cheese

1. Cover the bottom of a large, deep-sided pan with olive oil to about ½ inch. Add the chopped garlic to oil and heat at medium-high 'til you smell a nice aroma. (Do not burn the garlic. If it gets dark, remove it.) Toss in the parsley and enjoy the burst of aroma that it imparts. Add the tomatoes. Don't boil the sauce, just let it "smile" at you, a little roll of movement. Cook for about 10 minutes. 2. Add the basil and cook about 10 to 15 minutes more. Top with Pecorino cheese and serve immediately.
