If you are not eating tomatoes now…..you have a problem!

Feeds 6 people
1# Dried Bucatini or any other high quality dried pasta
1 cup whole peeled garlic
1# sweet Italian sausage
1 cup olive oil
4# assorted ripe locally grown tomatoes ( I used whole cherry, red pear, yellow pear and grape tomatoes)
1 cup chopped fresh basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
- Mise en Place
Method:
In a large sauce pot sweat garlic and Pablano in olive oil.
Once the garlic is tender, add the chopped up pieces of raw sausage to the pot…
* I remove the meat from the casings and make the sausage more free formed.
When the sausage is almost cooked through, add your tomatoes.
Cook the sauce for about 30 minutes and just before you are about to serve, add the fresh chopped basil, salt and pepper.
The cool thing about this sauce is that some of the tomatoes will hold their form, so when you eat the sauce, the tomatoes will pop in your mouth.
Serve over perfectly coolked pasta, some delicious roasted 7 grain bread and a bunch of ice cold Peroni Beers!
