Preparation

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a saucepan. Add onions and garlic and sauté until soft. Add tomatoes and Hatch chilies, cook for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add basil and parsley and simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
*Note:*
I simmered the sauce on low for at least 2 hours. Added the basil and parsley while the gnocchi was cooking. Used canned tomatoes and Hatch chilies. If you want to make this into a cream sauce, pass the sauce through a food mill or puree in a blender. Add the basil, parsley and ¾ cup of heavy cream and simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
