Yellow Tomato Pasta Sauce

"This pasta sauce is sweet and simple. Very delicious and easy to make; especially if you are limited on time. You can cook it for just ten minutes or let it simmer for an hour. The longer it cooks; the better it tastes. Very few ingredients also make this a winner. Recipe can easily be doubled and frozen for later too. Ingredient amounts should be adjusted to your preferences."

  1. Can I mix the yellow and red tomatoes and prepare as I would with just the yellow tomatoes?

  1. This was excellent and easy to do. The only issue I found was with the crushed peeper flakes. Using 1/2 tsp was just a bit too spicy. I wouldn't completely omit it but next time I would use 1/4 tsp. I added a bout 20 cherry tomatoes, I simmered for about 1.5 hours to get it to the consistency I liked...It was definitely a hit!!....MMMmmmMMMM good!!
     
  2. I’m in love with this recipe!!! I had an abundance of golden tomatoes in my garden, as well as basil, so this was the perfect recipe! I was expecting to need to thicken it but not so! It is just perfect!
     
  3. I've made this recipe twice and liked it, but would have appreciated a little more information about the amount of yellow tomatoes. Since they come in so many different sizes - and shapes - it would be nice to specify the weight or something that helps me gauge the quantities of the other ingredients. The first time, instead of red pepper flakes, I added a small amount of aleppo, a wonderful spice combination of crushed red chiles that comes from Syria - available from Savory Spice. This spice gave it a bit more taste and interest The second time, I had more ripe tomatoes from my garden and, unfortunately put in a little too much aleppo and it seemed overpowering. I froze the batch and when the last green ones I've brought in before next week's frost turn yellow, I'll make another batch without the aleppo and then combine it with what I have in the freezer. STILL, I would love to get some advice about the quantity of the yellow tomatoes. Anyone there??!
     
  4. Delicious recipe for pasta or as a pizza topping. The sauce has a nice sweetness, along with a bite to it. Very flavorful. A nice change of pace from traditional red sauce. I sauteed some onions to add to the sauce. It was a real hit with the entire family.
     
  5. I was given some yellow tomatoes and found your recipe to make. I used ground red pepper instead of the pepper flakes, dried basil instead of fresh. Instead of leaving it chunky I put it through a sieve. I added some cornstarch to give it some body. What a beautiful color it is and it taste darn good too. I'm freezing this to use for the winter months ahead. Great recipe, thanks.
