Did you know that you can take your taste buds on an Italian vacation — without leaving the comfort of your own home?

With some help from authentic Italian-made ingredients, this fresh Pomodoro sauce will convince your mind, body and soul that you’re relaxing in a small Venetian cafe, sipping on a glass of wine, and enjoying a beautiful summer sunset. Doesn’t that sound dreamy?!

Ingredients

• 1 ½ lbs. fresh tomatoes (I used 8 plum tomatoes)
• ½ cup extra virgin olive oil imported from Italy
• ¼ cup finely diced onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as a combination of basil, oregano, and parsley)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• For serving: cooked Italian pasta; Parmigiano-Reggiano PDO cheese

Instructions

1. Quarter the tomatoes and use your fingers to quickly scoop out most of the seeds. It helps to run the tomato under cold water to get any extra seeds out, and don’t worry – you don’t have to be meticulous about it. This should only take a few minutes!
2. Puree tomatoes in a food processor. Transfer to a strainer and set aside to strain excess liquid.
3. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion and sauté until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Be sure to stir the garlic and onion constantly so that the garlic doesn’t burn.
