Authentic Italian Tomato Sauce
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, halved
  • 2 (14 ounce) cans passata (crushed tomatoes)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, torn in half
  • salt to taste
Instructions
1
Collect and prepare all necessary components.
2
Heat a small amount of oil in a saucepan over a low flame. Introduce the onion and garlic into the pan, stirring gently until they become soft and lose their raw appearance, approximately 5 minutes.
3
Add passata, fresh basil leaves, and a pinch of salt. Cover the pan and gently simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the tomato sauce reaches a thickened consistency, roughly 20 minutes.
4
Prior to serving, carefully remove the garlic halves from the saucepan.
