Pomodoro e Basilico Sauce (Italian Tomato Basil Sauce)

Step 1

In a large saucepan pour a thin layer of olive oil to cover the whole surface. Crush the garlic cloves, discard the peel, and gently fry them on low heat.

Step 2

Once slightly brown, add Mutti® Tomato Puree (Passata), and bring to a boil. Give it a stir, cover the pan, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes stirring every few minutes. Salt to taste.

Step 3

Shut off the heat and only then add the basil leaves, including a few stems.

Step 4

Cover and let it rest for at least 30 minutes so that the basil infuses into the sauce.
