Authentic Italian Tomato Sauce Recipe
 
 
Author:
Recipe type: Pasta sauce
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 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
Instructions
  1. Chop onions as finely a possible in a food processor if you have one. But don’t turn them into a paste.
  2. Heat the oil in a medium sized saucepan
  3. Add the chopped onions to the pan and fry gently. They are ready when they are become clear.
  4. Add the tomatoes, tomato puree, herbs and seasoning and a cup of water
  5. Bring to the boil for about 5 more minutes
  6. 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.
  7. When the oil sits on the top of the tomatoes the sauce is ready. Also, it should be a deep red colour.
  8. You can zap the sauce in a food processor to make it smooth – kids prefer that.
