Fettuccine with Fresh Tomato-Basil Sauce. Serves: 4 Preparation time: about 10 minutes Cooking time: about 45 minutes Ingredients 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 cup finely chopped onions 1 large clove of garlic, minced 3 pounds very ripe plum tomatoes (about 15 tomatoes) 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil 1/4 teaspoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste Freshly ground black pepper 12 ounces fettuccine 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 8 fresh basil leaves, for garnish Instructions: In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute.
Add the tomatoes, bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 30 minutes.
Add the basil, sugar, and simmer, uncovered, until the sauce thickens. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until it is al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes and then drain.
Return the pasta to the pan it was cooked in and toss it with the tomato-basil sauce.
Serve the pasta in warm bowls, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve immediately.
