1. Put all the ingredients into a microwave-safe bowl, and cover the
bowl. Place in the Cuisinart® 3-in-1 Microwave AirFryer Plus. Select
Microwave, and set the time for 15 minutes and power level to High
(10P). Press Start. Stir and check firmness of tomatoes. If not falling
apart, cover again and microwave for an additional 5 minutes.
2. Remove the herb sprigs, if using fresh, and the garlic clove. Allow to
cool slightly and blend to desired consistency. (This is best blended
with a stick blender—that way, it can be blended while still quite warm. If using a countertop blender, let the sauce cool a bit, and be
sure to vent the blender lid to release any pressure.)
