i see red


summer, and at last we get to eat real tomatoes. we get tomatoes all year round, but how many actually really taste of tomato ? to be true, none.
tomatoes only taste good whan they've had their dose of sun... the real one, and not the 40 Watt one. To give the winter tomatoes some tase, i usually peel them, chop them and add about a teaspoon of sugar per threesome and mix.
My favorite tomato sauce is the following :
peel, chop a load of tomatoes... make it 2 kg
fry up some garlic, and about 4 sliced onions in a generous splash of olive oil.
add in a couple of teaspoons of sugar, and get the whole lot caramalized.
throw in the tomatoes, and a glass of white wine then stir fry until they become mushy.
[ if your tomatoes aren't ripe and are really tasteless, you can put in a soup spoon of concentrated tomato. ]

add some salt...( i like adding the ground pepper when it's in my plate.)
kill the heat, add a dollop of thick cream, mix in the pasta...
... parmasan + a bunch of chopped basil...
... the rest of the white wine...
need i say more ?
