Method

Sauce Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    If using fresh tomatoes, core and chop them. If using canned tomatoes, crush them gently in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large saucepan, heat the Extra Virgin Olive Oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic cloves and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook Tomatoes

    Add the prepared tomatoes to the pan, along with salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Sauce

    Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

  5. 5

    Add Basil

    In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the fresh basil leaves to the sauce and stir well.

Serving Preparation

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Once the sauce is ready, serve it over your choice of pasta or as a base for another dish.

  2. 7

    Garnish

    Grate the Pecorino Romano cheese over the top of the dish just before serving.
