Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 small onion -- finely chopped
4 garlic cloves -- minced
3 pounds ripe beefsteak tomatoes -- or other large tomatoes, seeded and diced (see Tip below)
1/2 cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon stemmed fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes.

Add the tomatoes; cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to break down, about 4 minutes. Pour in the broth, then add the basil, parsley, salt, thyme, nutmeg and pepper.

Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, uncovered, very slowly for 30 minutes, until somewhat thickened, stirring once in a while.

Pour the sauce into a large blender or a food processor fitted with the chopping blade, working in batches if necessary. Puree, then return to the saucepan and heat over medium heat or pour into plastic containers, cool to room temperature then freeze.

Yields 6 3/4-cup servings

POINTS value per serving: 1

Tip: To seed the tomatoes, cut them in half, then gently squeeze them over a trash can, getting rid of most of the seeds but preserving the pulpy inner walls.

Core Plan® idea: To make this dish fit the Core Plan, replace the butter with olive oil (each serving will provide 1/2 teaspoon healthy oil).

AuthorNote: Although great on pasta (1 cup cooked whole-wheat spaghetti has a POINTS® value of 3), this sauce also makes a terrific topper for grilled [Favorites].

ChupaNote: makes a good topping for rice as well.
