This is the recipe I learned in Catania for a simple and relatively quick tomato sauce for pasta. Buy the sweetest tomatoes you can find to give this a really good flavor. When it has thickened the way you like it, you can use an immersion blender to puree it. Read more Use it on pasta or with eggplant parmesan. See less
