How to Make the Best Italian TOMATO PASTA SAUCE Recipe EVER

Video Description

Basil Tomato Pasta Sauce is a mouthwatering Italian classic, and for good reason. Its rich history in Italian cuisine and use in countless dishes make it a beloved favourite in kitchens around the world. It’s a blend of juicy tomatoes, soffritto, and fragrant basil cooked gently over low heat. This sauce is a staple you won't want to be without. At the heart of this sauce is the soffritto. By blending EVOO, onions, carrots, and celery, you create a flavoursome base that is like a foundation for the entire dish, not just the sauce. To create the best possible result, use high-quality peeled tomatoes. San Marzano are my top choice for their rich flavour, but if they are hard to source, choose a high-quality Italian canned peeled tomato brand. This sauce is simple and versatile. Once all your prep is done, all you need to do is wait and let it cook gently k. Be careful, the aroma filling your kitchen will probably tempt you to boil some pasta right then and there. Once you master this Basil Tomato Pasta Sauce recipe, you’ll never want to go back to store-bought sauces again, so make a big batch and bottle up extra for next time. 💯 Follow this link to read and print the written recipe: https://www.vincenzosplate.com/the-best-basil-tomato-pasta-sauce-ever/ #sauce #pastasauce #vincenzosplate =============================================== INGREDIENTS: 2.5kg /88oz Italian peeled tomatoes 1 stick of celery 1 carrot ½ medium-sized onion A fresh bunch of basil Salt & Pepper Extra Virgin Olive Oil EVOO METHOD: 1. Use a hand blender to gently blend the peeled tomatoes directly in the can. Then set aside. 2. Chop the onion, celery, and carrots into small pieces then add them to a blender. 3. Pour in 7-8 tablespoons of EVOO, and add a splash of water. Blend until creamy and add another drizzle of oil if it is too thick and chunky. 4. Heat a cast iron pot over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of EVOO. Add the blended vegetable mixture, stir, cover, and let it cook for 10 minutes. 5. After 3 minutes, check the mixture. If it seems dry, add a splash of water and stir to combine. 6. Once it has been cooking for 10 minutes, add the blended tomatoes and stir well using a wooden spoon. 7. Cover and let simmer for 1 hour. Give it a stir every 10-20 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent it from sticking to the bottom. 8. After 1 hour, remove the lid, stir again,season with salt and pepper then stir once more. 9. Take the pot off the stove, tear the basil leaves by hand, add them to the pot, and give it a final mix to infuse the basil flavour. HOW TO SERVE: This sauce can be used immediately, but for an enhanced flavour experience, I recommend letting it rest overnight. This extra time allows the basil to fully infuse into the sauce, enriching the overall taste. The versatility of this sauce extends beyond pasta; it’s a fantastic addition to a variety of dishes. Consider using it as a base for lasagna, drizzle it over roasted vegetables, or let it bubble away with meatballs for a comforting meal. It also makes a wonderful dip for warm, crusty bread. =============================================== 📺SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL (IT’S FREEEEEE ;-) http://bit.ly/SubscribeToMyYOUTUBEchannel Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcsSowAamCLJv-xeF9geXoA/join 🕴Here is the link to Buy my Merch (and the No Pineapple on Pizza T-shirt): https://www.vincenzosplatestore.com/ 📖Share it with your FOODIE friends on FACEBOOK 🍝Check out my website to get more recipes http://vincenzosplate.com/ 🌍Join my Small Group Private Italian Tour and discover the secret gems of Italy with me.
