It’s one of Italy’s best known pasta sauces and for good reason too. I honestly think this sauce can hold its own against any other pasta sauce. Meat sauces, creamy sauces, pesto sauces – I love them all! But this simple sauce? Ahhh I dream about it. Tossed together with fresh pasta, topped with a sprinkling of basil leaves and a few shavings of crumbly parmesan. Genuine pasta heaven.

Extra virgin olive oil San Marzano tinned tomatoes Garlic Chilli Flakes

There are lots of variations and editions out there. I like to also include:

Onion Tomato Puree (paste if you’re in the USA) Salt and Pepper Fresh Basil

👩‍🍳PRO TIP This is a low & slow dish. Cook the onions slowly, then simmer the tomatoes nice and slowly for a thick, rich tomato pasta sauce.
