Pomodoro Sauce

Anything at Michelin recommended Restaurant Olivia that uses tomato sauce starts with this pomodoro sauce. We will be using it to make a brasied venison shank ragu in another recipe, but you can just use this as a simple, vegan, pasta sauce! I love Chef Ty's technique for cooking the garlic in this recipe. I've applied it to how I cook garlic for many other things I make.

Cook time: 60 minutes

Ingredients List

  • 12 garlic cloves

  • 6 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons olive oil

Ty Leon, Chef/Co-Owner, Restaurant Olivia

Prep:

  • Peel garlic

How to make Pomodoro Sauce

Step 1

Add the oils to your saucepan and turn your stove up to medium. Toast the garlic in the oils until very soft, fragrant and golden brown.

Step 2

Once the garlic is cooked, add the rest of the ingredients and cook on a low simmer for 1 hour.

Step 3

After the hour, pull out sprig of basil and blend the sauce up until smooth. The sauce has a lot of oil in it, and will break if not blended up enough.

Step 4

This sauce will be used on our ragu recipe. But, any extra sauce leftover is delicious on its own or tossed with pasta.
