This is the first attempt to try an amazing homemade tomato sauce from the Bravo TV show, Chef Academy Jean Christophe Novelli
6 medium vine-ripened tomatos, cut in half
3/4 tbsp anise seed
1 vanilla bean
kosher salt and pepper
pinch white sugar
3 cloves garlic
basil
EVOO
In a large pot, heat on med-hi, add EVOO and tomato halves. Cook for 7 minutes, add anise seed, salt, pepper, sugar and vanilla bean. Cook down for 15-20 minutes. Smash until paste, then add smashed garlic cloves. Cook for another 5 minutes and then add basil leaves and turn off heat and let flavor of basil infuse sauce.
Take out basil and then store in fridge.

Hubby did not like this but I did. Next time try without the anise as the consistency was very nice.
