Notes
- Grate the carrots finely for faster cooking and a smoother texture.
- Use room-temperature butter for quicker melting.
- Let the onions soften fully to avoid overpowering the dish.
- Slightly smash the garlic before mincing to release more flavor.
- Simmer the tomatoes on low heat for richer, juicier results. Add a pinch of sugar if the tomatoes are too acidic.
- Stir occasionally to let the tomatoes caramelize on the bottom.
