A delicious and fresh tasting pasta sauce. The fresh basil added at the end is essential.This sauce can be left chunky (which I prefer) or blended in a food processor to a smooth sauce. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 large onion, chopped |
2 garlic cloves, crushed |
3 (400 g) cans tomatoes, chopped |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes |
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar |
2 teaspoons sugar |
3/4 cup fresh basil leaf, torn into small pieces (don't use dried basil) |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a saucepan and gently cook the onion and garlic until softened.
2. Stir in the tomatoes, chili flakes, balsamic vinegar, and sugar.
3. Bring to a full boil and then simmer and cook slowly for 45-60 minutes.
4. Stir in the basil and season with salt and pepper.
5. Serve spooned over cooked pasta with plenty of parmesan cheese.
