Categories     Sauce     Tomato     Healthy     Simmer

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (28 ounce / 800ml) cans tomato puree
1 (28 ounce / 800g) can peeled plum tomatoes
2-3 cloves garlic, crushed or chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 sticks of celery, finely chopped
1 small carrot, finely chopped
6 cloves
2 teaspoons dried basil, or 2 tablespoons fresh, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup grated cheese, parmesan or pecorino romano

Steps:

  • In a large pot, sauté onion, carrot, celery and garlic in olive oil on a medium heat until slightly soft, about 5 minutes. Empty plum tomatoes into large bowl and squash with your hands to break them up. Add all ingredients (including any meatballs or sausage you want to add) to pot, reduce heat until it is just simmering, and simmer for 3 hours. This makes 10 servings or more (depending on how saucy you like your pasta) but freezes well - put into freezer bags in 250g batches, for enough to serve 2.

I would give this sauce a 4 out of 5 stars. It's a good basic tomato sauce, but it could be better with a few tweaks.

The sauce was a bit too thick for my taste. I added some water and it thinned it out nicely.

The sauce was a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and oregano and it helped a lot.

This sauce is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would cut back on the sugar next time I make it.
