Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, halved
- 2 (14 ounce) cans passata (crushed tomatoes)
- ¼ cup fresh basil, torn in half
- salt to taste
Directions
Step 1:
Gather all ingredients.
Step 2:
Heat oil in a saucepan over low heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook and stir until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 3:
Add passata, basil, and salt. Cover and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tomato sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes.
Step 4:
Remove garlic halves before serving.
Tips
Instead of the onion, you can use 2 shallots. If you have the time, you can simmer the sauce much longer for a more intense flavor.
