Sugo al Pomodoro Semplice - Italian Recipe

Sugo al Pomodoro Semplice

🌍 Italian, National Difficulty: ●●●○○

The foundation of Italian cooking and the sauce against which all others are measured. San Marzano tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, basil — nothing more. The garlic comes out before it browns. Twenty minutes of simmering is sufficient; longer and the freshness is lost.

Ingredients

• 800g canned San Marzano tomatoes
• 4 cloves garlic
• 6 tbsp olive oil
• 10 fresh basil leaves
• Salt

Method

1. Heating — Heat oil; add garlic until fragrant (don't brown).
2. Adding — Add tomatoes, crushing by hand. Season.
3. Simmering — Simmer 20 min; add basil at end.
