Blistered Tomato Pasta
(*) Items are available in our shop.
- Large onion, thinly sliced
- 4-5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 4 tbsp. tomato paste
- Grapeseed Oil
- 1 tsp. brown sugar
- 2 pints small tomatoes (red or gold)
- 1-2 tsp. salt
- 1-2 tsp. black pepper
- 2-3 tsp. Italian Blend*
- 1 tbsp. vegan butter
- 1 pound of your favorite pasta
Prepare your pasta according to package directions (save 2 cups pasta water).
Caramelize onions in heavy bottom skillet (seriously, don't skip this step). *If you are in a hurry, sauté onions until golden brown and add brown sugar to give them a beautiful sweetness.*
Add garlic and herbs to pan, sauté until fragrant. Add tomato paste and cook for a few minutes. Add grape tomatoes (crush with potato masher), salt, pepper, 1 cup pasta water and vegan butter; simmering uncovered on medium heat, for about 10 minutes.
Taste sauce for salt, etc.; toss with cooked pasta (add a bit of remaining pasta water at a time, if sauce is too thick).
Enjoy!
