Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 pound plum tomatoes -- seeded and coarsely chopped

1/2 cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley

1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves

1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves

1/4 cup drained capers

3 garlic cloves -- chopped

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes -- or to taste

1 pinch sugar -- or more to taste

salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 pound fettucine -- egg-free for vegan

1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts -- toasted (optional)

freshly chopped parsley -- (optional)

 

Reserve about one-third of the chopped tomatoes. Combine the remaining tomatoes,

parsley, mint, basil, capers, garlic, red pepper flakes, sugar, salt, and black

pepper in a food processor fitted with the metal blade; process until a smooth

paste is formed. With the motor running, add the oil in a thin, steady stream.

Transfer the mixture to a large serving bowl.

 

Meanwhile, cook the fettucine in boiling salted water according to package

directions until al dente. Drain well and add to the bowl with tomato mixture.

Add the reserved tomatoes and toss like a salad until well combined. Serve

immediately, garnished with the optional walnuts and parsley, if using.

 

Make 6 main course or 8 pasta course servings.

This fiery raw tomato sauce is incredibly easy to make in a food processor. The

optional walnuts, though not traditional, have been included because they

provide a nice counterpoint to the dish's spiciness, as well as extra protein.
