Paolucci Rose Sauce
Ingredients
1 lb (.5 kg) Roma tomatoes
2 large onions, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 bunch of green onions, sliced
1 head of garlic, finely minced
1 cup (250 mL) whipping cream
½ cup (125 mL) mozzarella cheese
1 tsp (5 mL) sugar
1 cup (250 mL) red wine
½ tsp (2.5 mL) cumin
1 tsp (5 mL) paprika
½ tsp (2.5 mL) nutmeg
Pinch of Indian clove
Directions
Slice the tomatoes in half and add them to a pan to cook. Stir every now and again so they don't stick to the bottom. Once they are cooked, remove the peels (optional) and blend them.
In another large pot over medium heat, add some olive oil and wait for the oil to warm up a little; add the garlic and wait for it to turn golden brown. Add onions and green onions and wait for them to turn translucent. Add bell pepper; after a minute, add blended tomato sauce, sugar, and spices to season to taste. Add wine, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 25 min. Blend if you want a smooth sauce, or leave it as is for a chunkier texture. Add the cream and the mozzarella cheese, and you are all done!
