Tomato basil sauce

Here are some easy to make pasta sauces, which if done properly, taste as good as the bottled ones sold in stores. Pennes / Rigatoni pastas taste better with the sauces as they have holes,the sauces and spices get coated inside

Ingredients
4 big tomatoes blanched (cooked in boiling water for a minute, enough to loosen the skin for it to be peeled), peeled and diced
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1 large onion minced
3 cloves garlic minced
1/2 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Method
1. In large saucepan, cook tomatoes and basil over medium-low heat until tomatoes are soft
2. Meanwhile, in medium skillet, saute onion and garlic in olive oil until onions are translucent.
3. Add onion mixture to tomato mixture and add salt and pepper. Let simmer on low heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure that the sauce does not stick to the pan or until thick.

You can always increase the ingredients to make additional sauce as this can be stored in the fridge for upto a month
