about 5 lbs.

We like to make this delicately spiced sauce in the summer when fresh, ripe
tomatoes are sweet and plentiful. And the addition of fresh basil
definitely adds a gourmet touch Place chopped tomatoes in a colander or
strainer for 30 min to drain. Press down with a spoon several times to
squeeze out excess liquid. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat add
onions, garlic and cook until onions are tender adding a bit of water to
prevent sticking about 510 min. Add tomatoes, basil, sugar salt and pepper
to saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered 1
hour. Stir in tomato paste and continue to cook 10 more min. Serve over
your favorite shape of pasta. Nutrition (per serving): 82 calories Total
