The best tomato sauce has just 3 ingredients – fresh tomatoes, onion and basil
I love the scent of tomato sauce, it releases all the essence of summer! Every time I prepare fresh sauce with basil and onion it is a feast, a very simple preparation but full of taste, the scent of Sicily. I grew up with these spectacular perfumes!l!!!
Ingredients
1,5 kg fresh tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 or 2 white onions, roughly chopped
I bunch of basil
Salt and pepper
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Method
Wash the basil, onions and tomatoes, dry them well, put everything in a casserole.
Turn on a low flame, season with salt and pepper and add 3 tbsp of oil.
Stir occasionally and leave to cook for about 1 hour, if you see too much liquid continue cooking until almost all the liquid has evaporated and the tomatoes are reduced to a thick, jam-like consistency. Stir frequently to keep the sauce from burning. Stop cooking when it reaches a consistency and flavor you like.
When is ready use a hand blender to whizz the sauce. You can add some more fresh basil leaves.
Let the sauce cool. Use this basic tomato sauce recipe for seasoning pasta or anything you like!
This fresh tomato sauce can be kept frozen for at least three months.
ENJOY!
