Confetti Reduction Sauce

Welcome friends to the grand opening of FaresWell Recipe Book. As a group of friends we're constantly lending each other ideas, recipes, stories and advice and now we shall bring them to you. Welcome to our community. In honor of the opening of a brand new website, I offer you a custom made recipe to commemorate this occasion.

I offer you Confetti Reduction Sauce

14 1/2 oz. can of stewed tomatoes with green peppers, minced
1 lg. clove of garlic, minced
2 tablespoons of olive oil
14 oz. can of low sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
2 tablespoons of butter
1/8th teaspoon of dried basil
1 teaspoon of sugar
pinch of crushed red pepper
pinch or dried oregano
cooked pasta of your choice

In a skillet heat oil and sautee minced garlic until aromatic and soft. On the side mix cornstarch and broth. Add tomatos, herbs, butter and sugar to the skillet and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add broth 1/3rd at a time, reducing heat to a low. Allow to cook for roughly an hour. The sauce will reduce considerably in that time. Serve over the pasta of your choice. I used tricolor tortellini stuffed with ricotta.

Makes 2 cups of sauce.

Enjoy! And remember that you're always welcome at our table.
