Recipe

Ingredients

  • Tomatoes: The base ingredient, providing acidity and sweetness.
  • Garlic: Adds depth and savory flavor, enhancing the tomatoes.
  • Olive Oil: Softens the acidity and adds richness.
  • Herbs (Basil, Oregano): Complements the natural flavors of the tomato, providing an aromatic touch.
  • Salt and Pepper: Simple yet essential for balancing and amplifying flavors.
  • Optional Cheese (Parmesan, Mozzarella): Adds creaminess and a savory counterpoint to the acidic tomatoes.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Mince the garlic and chop fresh tomatoes, or use canned crushed tomatoes for convenience. Wash and chop fresh herbs like basil or oregano.
  2. Sauté Garlic: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until it becomes fragrant and golden, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add Tomatoes: Stir in the tomatoes, season with salt, pepper, and herbs. Let the sauce simmer on low heat for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to blend flavors.
  4. Optional Cheese Addition: For a richer dish, add grated Parmesan or chunks of mozzarella. Let it melt into the sauce for a creamy consistency.
  5. Finish and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve over pasta, on pizza, or as a base for lasagna.
