Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients

    Wash the fresh tomatoes and chop them into small pieces. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Cook Tomatoes

    Add the chopped tomatoes to the saucepan, stirring to combine. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down and release their juices.

  4. 4

    Season the Sauce

    Add the fresh basil leaves, salt, black pepper, and sugar to the sauce. Stir well and let it simmer for another 5-10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Blend (Optional)

    For a smoother texture, you can use an immersion blender to blend the sauce to your desired consistency.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve hot over your favorite pasta or as a base for other dishes.
