Summer Marinara Sauce

This is a deliciously simple summer pasta sauce. Make this with your fresh garden tomatoes as a great way to go green while going Italian. This is a great sauce to serve with Caprese.

4 Cups seeded and pureed tomatoes (overripe and slightly mushy tomatoes work best).
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed.
1-2 tbs. Olive oil
1/2 bunch fresh basil
1 tsp. salt

Chop onion finely and set aside. Seed tomatoes and process them in a food processor. Saute onions and garlic in olive oil over medium heat in the bottom of a 6 quart sauce pan until onions are translucent and slightly browned. Add tomatoes, basil and salt. Increase heat to high and bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce to medium-low heat and simmer for about 30 minutes. Serve over your favorite hot pasta.
