ripening green tomatoes | Food Production and Preservation | Forums

wow, didnt know about this. Thanks!

At the end of gardening season, we always do a variation of this recipe for Green Tomato Sauce and Pasta:

2 tablespoons olive oil 
· 1 onion, peeled and minced
· 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
· 5-6 green tomatoes, washed, cored and fairly finely chopped
· Salt and pepper
· 1/2 cup dry white wine
· 1 pound spaghetti, linguine or fettuccine
· Minced basil for garnish
· Grated Parmesan for garnish
 
In a saucepan heat the olive oil until shimmery. Add the onions and cook, stirring now and then, until it softens, 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until it turns fragrant, another minute or so. Add the chopped tomatoes, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until the wine almost evaporates, tomatoes soften and sauce becomes thick.
In a large pot, heavily salt a gallon of water and bring to a rolling boil. Add pasta and cook al dente, 6-8 minutes. Drain. Place pasta in a large bowl and spoon green tomato sauce over. Garnish with minced basil and pass the grated cheese.
