A rich and flavorful marinara sauce, perfect for pasta dishes or as a base for various Italian recipes.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
400 grams passata
10 leaves fresh basil
to taste salt
Method
Begin by assembling all the essential ingredients for your marinara sauce.
In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil on low flame. Introduce finely diced onion and crushed garlic, sautéing them until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomato puree, toss in fresh basil leaves, and season with a dash of salt. Cover the pot and allow the mixture to simmer on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a thicker consistency, roughly 20 minutes.
Prior to serving, be sure to take out the garlic pieces from the sauce.
