Simple Tomato Sauce

INGREDIENTS
5    Roma or similar  tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
½   cup chopped white onion
2    cloves garlic, peeled, minced
2    tablespoons olive oil

METHOD
Place the tomatoes into boiling water to cover and cook them for 2 minutes. Remove and place into a bowl of cold water. When cool, remove the skins, cut the tomatoes in half and remove the hard inner parts and seeds. Chop and put into a blender or food processor. Add the onions and garlic;  process to a puree. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, add the olive oil.. Slowly pour in the tomato puree, stir and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until thickened. Remove from the heat and set aside.

To add a little Mexican or southwestern flavor, add 2 jalapeno or serrano peppers, seeded and chopped, to the blender or food processor with the tomatoes.
