  • 1 Salt
  • 1 Pepper
  • 1 Dried or fresh basil (optional)
  • 1 Black pepper (coarsely ground)

Method

  • Peel the skin from the tomatoes by blanching them.Don't bother if this is too troublesome for you.
  • Roughly chop two of the tomatoes.
  • Cut the other tomato for garnish.
  • Coarsely chop the garlic and 2/3 of the onion.
  • Thinly slice the celery and remaining 1/3 of the onion and soak in water.
  • These will remain uncooked, whereas the garlic and onion from Step 3 will be cooked in the sauce.
  • Place the garlic and extra virgin olive oil in an unheated frying pan, slowly saute over low heat until fragrant.
  • Once the garlic becomes fragrant and golden brown, add the onion from Step 3.
  • After adding the onion, reduce to low-medium heat, season with the ingredients, and saute until translucent.
  • Add the consomme and roughly chopped tomatoes from Step 2 to the frying pan and simmer while mashing the tomatoes.
  • (This should take about 7-8 minutes for a 1 person serving.)
  • Slowly simmer the sauce while cooking off the liquid.
  • The time it takes to complete the sauce may vary depending on variables such as the amount of tomatoes, the amount of liquid, and the strength of your stove top.
  • It should take about 8 minutes to cook 2 medium-sized fresh tomatoes.
  • The sauce is done once it is thick enough so that it doesn't return when separated with a spatula.
  • Turn off the heat, cool, then chill in the refrigerator.
  • * This recipe should make about 1 cup of sauce.
  • Once the sauce well chilled, add the "B" ingredients and minced basil (optional), and mix.
  • Thoroughly squeeze out the onion and celery from Step 4 to drain.
  • * Add the cut tomatoes from Step 2 to the sauce and toss.
  • Sprinkle the ingredients into the sauce and evenly combine, while taking care not to crush the tomatoes.
  • In a separate bowl, dissolve 1 tablespoon salt in 1 liter cold water to prepare the brine.
  • Add ice to completely chill.
  • Boil the pasta in boiling water with salt.
  • For chilled pasta, boil for 30 seconds-1 minute longer than the boiling time indicated on the package.
  • Drain the pasta and chill under cold running water.
  • Thoroughly drain excess water and transfer to bowl of chilled water from Step 15 to firm up the noodles.
  • Soaking the pasta in the chilled brine will give it a subtle saltiness, which usually gets too diluted when preparing chilled pasta.
  • Completely drain the chilled pasta and wrap each individual serving in a paper towel to squeeze out the excess water.
  • Tip: While it may depend on the type of pasta, Step 19 is very important to ensure that the pasta is seasoned properly.
  • However, for chilled tomato sauce pasta, it's important not to squeeze the pasta too much; it should be just enough so that the pasta remains firm.
  • Add the sauce from Step 14 to the pasta.
  • After thoroughly combining the sauce and the pasta, season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and serve.
  • This is a perfect pasta dish for fully ripened tomatoes.
  • As long as you carefully follow the steps given, you will achieve an authentic taste.

  • You can also sprinkle some rock salt, herbs, and black pepper around the edges of the plate.
