STEPS
INGREDIENTS
1 Ripe Tomato & an optional 2 Baby Tomatoes for good luck🍅😊
1 Tbsp. of Tomato Paste☺
1/2 Cup Raw Cashews
3 Tbsp. of wine; i was feeling marsala today, you could try it with red or white w. Bag of Whole Wheat Pasta. Tip: If you prefer to stay away from using wine in your meal, water will be just fine😉
2-4 Cloves of Garlic. I love the taste of garlic so i used the maximum of 4 😜
Large handful of basil. Be Generous😘
Salt & Black Pepper to season. Fact: I love using Himalayan Sea Salt as much as possible. People swear by this and it has essential health benefits😋✌
Put Water to Boil for Pasta. Add Salt
Prepare 1/2 Cup Cashews, 1 Tbsp. Tomato Paste and 1/4 Cup Water
Core the tomato, Roughly Chop it. Add to your blender, seeds, skin and all.
Also add in tomato paste, cashews and water
Blend until very smooth👏
Add olive oil to large sauté pan over medium-high heat 🔥🔥
Prepare garlic for pan. I used a garlic mincer from Pampered Chef. Or you could always mince with a chopping knife.
Mince right into hot oiled pan. Do not let garlic burn, after all garlic is on pan let sizzle for about 30 seconds, then quickly grab the blended tomato sauce and pour in pan.
Perfect👍
Add pasta in boiled water. Cook for 7 minutes or until Al Dente
Throw in your wine or water. I used Marsala Wine to thin the sauce. Yum
Salt and pepper to taste
Grab handful of basil
Chop finely & De stem
Drain out pasta
Place in sauté pan with sauce
Add chopped basil
Stir until all incorporated
Yes almost complete:)
Now place into serving bowl and top with some extra chopped basil for garnish
