Ingredients:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
3 large cloves garlic, minced |
4 cups tomato puree |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh italian parsley leaves |
1 large fresh basil stem with leaves removed |
1 teaspoon sea salt, preferably gray salt |
pinch baking soda or sugar, if needed |
Directions:
1. Heat the olive oil in a large non-reactive pot over moderate heat. Add the garlic and saute until caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes to the garlic and bring to a simmer. Add the parsley and basil and simmer until reduced to a sauce-like consistency, about 15 minutes.
2. Taste and adjust the seasoning. If the sauce tastes too acidic, add the baking soda and cook for 5 more minutes. If it needs a touch of sweetness, add the sugar and cook for 5 more minutes. Remove the basil stem before serving.
