Rick’s Sugo di Parma-Parma Style Tomato Sauce - The Olive Tap Recipes

Ingredients

• 1 or 2 T. The Olive Tap’s or other fruity Olive Tap
• 1 medium yellow onion, fine diced, not minced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced (optional ingredient)
• 1 lb. very ripe fresh tomatoes put through a small hole food mill, or a 1 lb. can of crushed tomatoes
• 1 T. good tomato paste. Buy the tube of tomato paste, and you can use it for a longer period of time
• 6 leaves of fresh basil, finely chopped
• Fresh ground black pepper to taste. The acidity in tomatoes really reduces the need for salt. If you do add salt, be stingy.
