Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds lemon boy tomatoes and yellow pear tomatoes
  • ⅓ cup Olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon garlic salt
  • 2 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 bunch fresh thyme

Instructions
 

  • Prep Step: Cut the tomatoes into quarters and slice the pear tomatoes in half. Chop the fresh basil and fresh thyme. Set aside.
  • In a large stockpot, add the olive oil, chopped yellow onion, garlic powder, garlic salt, black pepper, sea salt, sugar, fresh thyme and basil. Combine all ingredients with the wooden spoon and simmer on low heat.

Notes

Want to make this for pasta? Easy! Add penne pasta to boiling water and cook until Al dente. Save some pasta water. Drain the pasta, add the reserved pasta water to the pan, add the penne pasta, and combine. Grab a pasta bowl, top with the yellow tomato sauce, and combine. Top with grated parmesan cheese, more fresh basil, and Kalamata olives for the perfect Italian pasta dish!
If yellow tomato sauce isn't thickening you can add more sugar for a thicker sauce. We only use fresh tomatoes for this recipe, no canned tomatoes here. Have sungold tomatoes or orange tomatoes on hand? Throw those in here too! This is a simple sauce, a fresh sauce that light, easy, and breezy! Store leftover tomato sauce in freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 6 months or enjoy right away! This tomato sauce will also keep in the fridge for up to three days.
