Spaghetti Recipes

[Cherie]

Hi! I saw Sonny Bono give his recipe for uncooked spaghetti sauce on tv probably 15 years ago. It's one of my faves.

Fresh Tomato Sauce

3 large ripe tomatoes, blanched, peeled, and diced

1 clove garlic, minced

1 small mild onion, minced (or to taste)

8 large basil leaves or 1 tsp. dried

1 Tblsp. finely chopped fresh oregano or 1/2 tsp. dried

1 tsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary or 1/2 tsp. dried

salt and pepper to taste.

1/2 cup olive oil

juice from 1 lemon or lime, strained

Combine all ingredients, put in a glass bowl, cover, and let sit in the sun for 3 hours. (I usually just keep it inside, but it does need to sit for 3 hours for the flavors to develop.

Do not cook. For 1 pound pasta. Top with parmesan or romano cheese.
