Marinara sauce using food mill

By CarolM-2

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 large cloves garlic, minced
• 3 lbs. tomatoes, cut into wedges
• 2 generous sprigs fresh basil
• 1/4 tsp. sugar
• 1 tsp. kosher salt

Preparation

Step 1

In a wide, heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes, basil, sugar and salt; increase the heat to medium-high. When the tomatoes are bubbling briskly, stir and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
Cook stirring occasionally until the tomatoes have separated from their skins and cooked down to a thick sauce, 30 minutes to an hour. Remove the basil sprigs.
Press the sauce into a bowl through a food mill fitted with the fine blade. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Use at once, refrigerate for up to 4 days, or freeze.
