I saw this recipe on the back of a Hunt's Tomato Paste can and tried it with some variation. It's a nice quick sauce for when you want homemade but fast.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (18 ounce) can tomato paste
4 cups hot water
3 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with basil oregano and garlic
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
salt, to taste (optional)
pepper, to taste (optional)
Directions:
1. Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan on medium-low heat.
2. Add garlic and saute gently for about 2-3 minutes.
3. Combine tomato paste and water in the saucepan; blend in tomatoes.
4. Add fresh parsley.
5. Heat over high heat until sauce begins to boil.
6. Reduce heat; simmer 10 minutes.
7. Add salt and/or pepper, to taste.
8. Serve over hot, cooked pasta.
9. Or try as a dipping sauce for breadsticks, pizza crust, fried cheese sticks or vegetables.
