Equipment

  • - Blender (for pureeing ingredients like tomatoes to create a smooth base)

  • - Cutting board and knife (essential for preparing fresh vegetables)

  • - Saucepan or large pot (for simmering the sauce over heat)

  • - Strainer or sieve (to remove seeds and skin from tomatoes, if desired)

  • - Immersion blender (a handy tool for pureeing ingredients directly in the pot)

  • - Mandoline slicer (for evenly cutting vegetables like onions and garlic)

  • - Measuring cups and spoons (to measure out precise amounts of ingredients)

  • - Silicone spatula (useful for stirring and scraping the bottom of pots)

  • - Can opener (assuming some recipes call for canned tomatoes or other pre-packaged items)

  • - Storage container (for storing leftovers, if making a large batch)

Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp olive oil

  • 2 yellow onions, finely diced

  • 8 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 1/2 lb plum (Roma) tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped

  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh basil

  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

1

Instruction 1

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 20-25 minutes. Add the basil and simmer for 5 minutes more. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Instruction 2

Replace the fresh tomatoes with whole canned tomatoes that have been seeded and coarsely chopped. (Reserve the juices to add to the pot as well.) Be sure to taste the tomatoes before starting the sauce. If the tomatoes need extra body or flavor, sauté 1/4-1/3 cup tomato paste with the onions after the onions are translucent. Or replace half of the whole tomatoes with tomato purée.
