Tomato Sauce Alla Napolitana

I saw this on TV the a couple of night ago. It seemed so easy, I thought I would share it. The lady who cooked it used fresh, organic San Marzano tomatoes from the family's tomato farm. Since I didn't have San Marzano, tomatoes, I used organic tomato puree. Read more Be sure that you use a good puree that is not too watery or you will have to let it reduce longer. You can use, dried basil, but you will have to add it with the tomato puree. It is traditional to serve this without parmesan cheese. See less
Ingredients
- 2 cups tomato puree shopping list
- 1/4 cup olive oil shopping list
- 4 garlic cloves shopping list
- 1 chili pepper (pepperoncini) shopping list
- 1/4 cup of fresh basil leaves shopping list
- salt and pepper shopping list
How to make it
- Crush and peel the garlic.
- Heat a pan and add the olive oil. When hot add the chili pepper. Cook until it takes some color. Add the garlic and cook until golden (NOT brown or it will be bitter). Remove the garlic and pepper. The garlic and pepper should flavor the oil, but not be in the finished sauce.
- Add the tomato puree, bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and let reduce until it is as thick as you like. (For me this was about 10 minutes.)
- Add some salt and pepper.
- Add the basil leaves and add your favorite pasta to the pan. Mix and serve.
