An easy Italian tomato sauce made from scratch with just 4 ingredients in only 10 minutes! This tomato sauce is perfect for pasta, pizza or simply for dunking some char-grilled ciabatta into. It's SO rich in flavour and couldn't be easier!
There are endless recipes for Italian tomato sauce. Some are made with fresh tomatoes and simmered for hours, some add chilli peppers to make a firey arrabbiata or pancetta for richness.
This recipe is very quick and easy, made with very few ingredients but trust me when I say it's INCREDIBLY delicious! The flavour comes from a quick simmer which caramelises the sugars in the tomatoes giving the sauce the most delicious flavour in a short amount of time.
High-quality tomatoes are a MUST for this and are the only way to achieve a delicious tasting sauce. The short cooking time also only works for a small amount of sauce (serves 4 for pasta). The more tomato you add the more cooking time they'll need.
WHAT TOMATOES TO USE?
I say this ALL the time but it's so true, you NEED to buy the best quality ingredients for this to work.
You can't make the best Italian tomato sauce with low-quality tomatoes. I use chopped canned tomatoes (polpa) for this quick 10-minute recipe. There are two brands of tomatoes that I use and love; Cirio and Mutti which are always canned in a thick tomato juice not water. Both are high quality and reasonably priced. Read More...
