Napolitana Sauce

Ingredient

  • 1 tin mutti blended tomatoes (or fresh, blended)
  • 2 clove of garlic
  • 2 dried chilli
  • seasoning salt (flaked or whatever)
  • handful of fresh basil, chopped
  • olive oil

Method

  1. Heat oil in pan on low-medium heat.
  2. Add garlic and chilli and saute until the oil changes colour.
  3. Remove chilli and garlic, discard.
  4. Add tomatoes and cook on high-heat.
  5. Continually stir into the centre to combine the oil and tomatoes.
  6. While it cooks, add ~1 tsp seasoning salt, taste and add more until it sweetens.
  7. After about 5-10 minutes it should have thickened, take off the heat.
  8. Add chopped basil, stir it in.
  9. Serve!

Notes

  • DON'T add sugar.
  • Try not to burn the garlic and chilli, although it's not disastrous if you do.
  • Let the oil cool a bit before adding the tomatoes. Otherwise you might end up with a kitchen fire.
  • For a parmigiana sauce use oregano and parmesan instead of basil.
