Authentic Italian Tomato Sauce Recipe
Author: Giovanna Sanguetti
Recipe type: Pasta sauce
Serves: 4
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 teaspoons tomato puree
- 2 medium onions – diced
- 2 cans of organic Italian plum tomatoes (tinned chopped tomatoes are too watery)
- 1 clove of garlic – crushed
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 twigs fresh rosemary
- Cold water
- Seasoning
- Chop onions as finely a possible in a food processor if you have one. But don’t turn them into a paste.
- Heat the oil in a medium sized saucepan
- Add the chopped onions to the pan and fry gently. They are ready when they are become clear.
- Add the tomatoes, tomato puree, herbs and seasoning and a cup of water
- Bring to the boil for about 5 more minutes
- Put a lid on the pan boil for about an hour, never letting it dry out. Add water and stir occasionally if you feel it’s dry. But don’t over do it.
- When the oil sits on the top of the tomatoes the sauce is ready. Also, it should be a deep red colour.
- You can zap the sauce in a food processor to make it smooth – kids prefer that.
