Vegan Butter Wine Tomato Sauce
One of my favorite things about late summer is the abundance of juicy tomatoes. There is nothing like a vine-ripened tomato. If you’re lucky enough to be growing your own, you’ll probably find that once they start to ripen, they are the gift that keeps giving!
We are growing our own tomatoes this year, and one of my favorite ways to use them is in this fantastic sauce. Simple to make with minimal (but high-quality) ingredients, this sauce is fresh, bursting with flavor and decadent. The basil and garlic add brightness and a little kick, but it’s truly the butter and red wine that give this sauce that je ne sais quoi. The freshly chopped tomatoes simmer in the butter for about 30 minutes, making your home smell like heaven. And it truly tastes like authentic Italian cuisine.
When the sauce is done, toss with your favorite pasta, we enjoyed this batch with red lentil pasta from Trader Joe’s, and imagine you’re eating at a little cafe in Venezia!
Buon appetito!
My favorite vegan butter is Miyoko’s Cultured Butter. The flavor profile is the most butter-like I’ve ever tasted, in the style of European cultured butter. Miyoko’s makes vegan butter and cheese from nuts using traditional dairy culturing techniques. The end result is truly unique and delicious. If it’s not available to you, feel free to substitute in another vegan butter or olive oil.
