How to make authentic Italian sauce in 15 minutes with a few genuine ingredients
It all starts with a few ingredients (the right ones)
In Italian grandmothers' kitchens, the sauce always starts with:
- quality extra virgin olive oil
- garlic
- ripe cherry tomatoes (or peeled tomatoes)
- tomato passata
- Salt to taste
- Fresh basil
- chili pepper (optional)
The rule is simple: fewer ingredients, more quality
1. In a pan, pour in extra virgin olive oil and a slightly crushed clove of garlic. Let it brown gently, without burning it.
2. Add hand-crushed cherry tomatoes or quality peeled tomatoes.
Let it cook over medium heat. Then add some tomato passata.
3. Add salt and fresh basil. Turn off the heat and let it rest for 1 minute.
