Method

Cooking the Base

  1. 1

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

  2. 2

    Sauté Garlic

    Add the minced garlic cloves to the pan and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant but not browned.

  3. 3

    Add Crushed Tomatoes

    Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine with the garlic and olive oil mixture.

Seasoning the Sauce

  1. 4

    Incorporate Seasonings

    Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar to the tomato mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  2. 5

    Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Final Touches

  1. 6

    Add Fresh Basil and Parmesan

    Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, stir in the chopped fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese. Allow to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. This Sorrentina sauce can be used immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
