a RARE PASTA SAUCE I ate weekly when I lived in ITALY
This spicy, creamy, red bell pepper pasta sauce is a rare pasta sauce that I’ve only found in a jar in a supermarket in Italy, today I set out to recreate this nostalgic sauce. I believe this is a variation of pesto alla calabrese.

Best Italian Tomato PASTA SAUCE RECIPE - Sugo al Basilico
INGREDIENTS:
Extra virgin olive oil
Onion
Celery
Carrot
75-100g/2.6 – 3.5oz fresh basil leaves
2.5kg/10.42 cups Homemade passata/Store bought OR Peeled/chopped Italian tomatoes
UTENSILS:
Sharp knife
Chopping board
Hand blender
Medium – large size pot
Wooden spoon
METHOD:
1. Tomato basil pasta sauce is made with a “Soffrito” which is a blend of fresh ingredients used at the very beginning of the recipe.
2. To make the soffrito, chop up 1 carrot, 100g onion and 1 celery stalk (including the leaves!).
3. Add all of these ingredients into the base of a hand blender with 100ml of extra virgin olive oil, until it becomes beautiful and creamy, like a puree. This will form a flavoursome base for your tomato basil pasta sauce.
4. Next, turn the stove on to a very gentle heat and place the pot on top. Add 3-4 tablespoons of EVOO and pour in the soffrito mix.
5. Gently stir the soffrito so it covers the base of the pot, cover it with a lid and leave it to simmer for 15-20 minutes.
6. If you are using chopped or peeled tomatoes, blend them up so they become a beautiful thick passata. If you are using homemade or store bought passata to make your tomato basil pasta sauce, then you can skip this step!
7. After ten minutes, the soffrito will start to darken in colour. Stir it using a wooden spoon (making sure it is not burning) and then leave it to simmer for at least another 5 minutes.
8. When the soffrito is ready, mix through the tomato passata and stir very well using a wooden spoon.
9. Sprinkle 10g/2.2 teaspoons of rock salt and some black pepper and mix through.
10. Now, just cover the tomato basil pasta sauce with a lid and leave it to simmer slowly for 1-1.5hr, remembering to stir it every now and then.
11. After 1hr, remove the lid and leave it for another 30-45min, simmering it without the lid.
VINCENZO’S PLATE: It is important to let the sauce simmer without the lid so that the sauce does not become watery and by uncovering it, the steam will leave the pot and allow the sauce to thicken even more.
12. The finishing touch for this perfect homemade tomato and basil sauce is adding fresh basil at the very end. You can cut this up small or large depending on your preference – just make sure you don’t cut it with a knife! Add it with your hands before mixing through and leave this to infuse while the sauce is still hot – but the stove is now off.
HOW TO SERVE:
Enjoy this tomato basil pasta sauce however you like it! Use it with your favourite pasta, enjoy it on a pizza base, smother it over your chicken cacciatore, no matter how you use your sauce, it will add another whole level of flavour to your next meal.
E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate…Enjoy!

How to make authentic Italian spaghetti sauce (gravy) from scratch
This authentic Italian Pasta Sauce / Spaghetti Sauce recipe has been handed down through Annette’s side of the family for more than 4 generations. It’s a versatile sauce that can be used on spaghetti, in lasagna, as a pizza sauce and as a marinara sauce.
You’ll need to allow an hour to prep the sauce and 3 or 4 hours to let it simmer. Letting the sauce simmer and thicken is the authentic Italian way. Your home will be filled with the fantastic aroma of what the true Italians call Pasta Gravy . . . spaghetti sauce.
This recipe makes 8 quarts of spaghetti sauce and it tastes absolutely delicious . . . way better than Ragu and of course, it costs much less too!
You can call it spaghetti sauce, pasta sauce or gravy - but no matter what you call it, you'll love the flavor.
