Preparation

Preparation

1. Sauté the Base Ingredients

In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.

2. Add Tomato Base

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and vegetable broth. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

3. Season the Sauce

Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar to the mixture. Stir everything together thoroughly.

Cooking

4. Simmer the Sauce

Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld together.

5. Finish the Sauce

Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat. Stir in the freshly chopped basil and grated Parmesan cheese.

Serving

6. Serve il Sugo

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm over your favorite pasta, and enjoy!
