Categories     Sauces

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

450 g ripe tomatoes, chopped (peeled or unpeeled as you prefer)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 -2 teaspoon tomato puree
1 clove garlic, crushed (more if you like it)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil (add more if you are a basil fan as I am)
salt
pepper
chili powder (optional)
minced meat (optional)

Steps:

  • If I want to use this as a the basis for a meat sauce or chilli sauce I don't usually bother to peel the tomatoes, when I want a silky smooth sauce that runs beautifully I do peel them.
  • You choose Peel tomatoes by covering with boiling water in a bowl for 5 minutes if you want the"smooth" recipe.
  • Chop tomotoes into evenly sized pieces.
  • Heat olive oil and sauté garlic and onion until soft.
  • Add tomatoes, tomato pureé, Basil, salt and pepper.
  • Simmer gently got 30-40 until it reduces a little.
  • Serve as is, or put in a blender until smooth.
  • For Chilli sauce, add 1/4-1/2 teaspoon chilli powder (to your preference) or fresh chillies.
  • Adding browned minced meat makes a nice easy sauce for over pasta.

This is the best tomato sauce I've ever had. It's so simple to make, but it tastes like it came from a fancy restaurant. I'll never buy jarred sauce again.
