Ingredients

• 2 lbs fresh tomatoes
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 1 red chili pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Start by preparing the tomatoes. Cut a small 'X' at the bottom of each tomato and blanch them in boiling water for about 1 minute. This will make it easier to peel off the skin. Once blanched, transfer the tomatoes to a bowl of ice water to cool down. Peel off the skin and chop the tomatoes into small pieces.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red chili pepper (remove the seeds if you want less heat) to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet and stir well. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have softened and released their juices.
4. Stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for another 5 minutes.
5. Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer the sauce to a blender or use an immersion blender directly in the skillet to puree the sauce until smooth.
6. Return the sauce to the skillet and place it back over low heat. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce is heated through.
7. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you prefer a spicier sauce, you can add more red pepper flakes or chili powder.
8. Once the sauce is ready, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before transferring it to a jar or airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
9. Serve the Spicy Creamy Tomato Sauce as a condiment with pasta, as a pizza sauce, or as a dipping sauce for sandwiches. Or get creative and use it in your favorite recipes to add a burst of flavor and creaminess.
