How to Make the Best Italian TOMATO PASTA SAUCE Recipe EVER

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.

"Simplicity at it's best..." That's experience, bravo!!!

About 25 yrs ago, I started blending my garlic and carrots in a processor then, added it to the fresh, sweet garden tomatoes. I never puree my tomatoes. It breaks up the seeds making it bitter. I like juicy pieces of tomato especially on gnocchi. When I saw you do it for the first time, I could not believe it! I add the basil only at the end. Never cook fresh basil. That is my fresh, tomato sauce I use on homemade gnocchi. of course I toss the cheese and extra virgin olive oil into a bowl of gnocchi then, add the sauce. A little more basil or a lot, never hurts! I am Italian from Turi, province of Bari.

I once forgot to get carrots and made sauce without it. I learned the hard way about the sweetness the carrot adds. I'm going to have to try this recipe. No sugar in tomato sauce, and no cream in carbonara. I'm learning!

So good to see the foundation items, onion, carrot, celery, going into this. Simplicity and a lack of ingredients is often what makes a dish special and bizarrely, what makes it have flavour, not adding ingredients and "my own twist" but keeping it really simple.

One small tip for basil: I buy it in summer, when it is at its best. I sort the leaves, pack them in FoodSaver vacuum sealed bags in single use amount and put them in the freezer. In winter, when I need to make a tomato sauce I take the bag from the freezer, smash the leaves and add them at the sauce at the end of the cooking. Much more fragrant than using the sad, hard, greenhouse grown basil that you find at this time of the year.

Having this show up on a Saturday morning right after pay day is a blessing. Off to get the ingredients and make myself a big ol' pot.

Emeril….was always my go to guy I just always trusted. You’ve been it for some time now. Love everything you do and felt like I should at least add my vibe to the list of your growing base.

[Paul_Vaughan]

This is the Italy I fell in love with! Although the ingredients are totally different, Italian cooking is still very close to Finnish cooking. If the recipe says tomatoes, respect the tomatoes. Or up here, if the recipe says wild mushrooms, respect the mushrooms. Don't cover them. Simple things, local ingredients, but big and fresh flavours.

I make this a few times for my younger brother, and he loves it.

[Joe_Murphy-REV_Realty]

Another wonderful sauce!! I've been making your marinara since you made that video. EVERYBODY loves it!! Thank you!

[CoolJay]
