10 Second Fresh Tomato Sauce

Ingredients:

The sauce: 2 ripe tomatoes, quartered

2 spring onions, roughly chopped

1 cup fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, coriander, roughly torn

1 small clove garlic, roughly chopped

1 small fresh chilli, roughly chopped (optional)

Sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper

Pinch sugar

To serve: Freshly cooked pasta of choice

Freshly grated parmesan

Method:

For best results, use the KitchenAid Deluxe Hand Blender
Place half of the tomato quarters into the hand blender beaker. Attach the multipurpose blade to the blending arm. Puree/chop on the highest speed for 3 seconds
Add the remaining tomato followed by the spring onions, chilli and herbs. Continue to puree/chop, moving the blender up and down in the jug, for about 5 seconds or until you have the desired consistency
Season to taste with salt, freshly ground black pepper and sugar. Allow sauce to stand 3-5 minutes to allow it to thicken
Toss fresh sauce through the piping hot pasta and top with parmesan. Or use as a delicious dipping sauce

Tips & Hints:

Keep the hand blender low in the beaker to minimise splashing. Toss the sauce through cold cooked potatoes or serve over steamed vegetables or grilled chicken or fish
