Instructions
- Wash the tomatoes under running water. Then place them in a bowl and start cutting in half.
- With a knife, remove the seeds and all the internal part of the tomato, as to make small tomato boats. Now place them in a pot and cook over low heat, covered with a lid. Stir from time to time and cook for about 20 minutes.
- When the tomatoes are cooked, crush them with a food mill to remove all the skin and make a tomato puree.
- Chop the onion. In a saucepan, sautè the garlic clove (whole and without peel) and the onion in extra virgin olive oil over low heat for ⅔ minutes.
- Add the tomato passata. Stir and season with salt to taste and 1 teaspoon of sugar, which is necessary to lower the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Cook for 15 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, making sure that the sauce does not burn. If necessary, reduce the heat to low.
- When the tomato sauce with fresh tomatoes is ready, with the heat off, add the basil leaves and, if you like, even a little oregano.
