Sicilian tomato sauce is one of the most iconic and versatile sauces that can be used on a wide range of dishes. It is easy to prepare and requires only a few ingredients that can be found in your pantry or refrigerator.

Ingredients:

– 1 can of whole peeled tomatoes
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 small onion, chopped
– 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
– 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano
– Salt & pepper, to taste
– Olive oil
– Fresh basil leaves

Instructions:

1. Begin by preparing your ingredients. Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and set aside. Drain the can of tomatoes of their liquid and set them aside.

2. Place a large saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Then, add the chopped onions and cook until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

4. With the heat still on medium, add the drained tomatoes to the pan. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, break them into smaller pieces. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and dried oregano.

5. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened and the flavors have melded together.

6. Serve the sauce fresh, garnished with fresh basil leaves, or use it as a base for other dishes such as pasta dishes, pizzas, or lasagnas. You can also store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Tips:

– If you prefer a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender or transfer the sauce to a blender and pulse until smooth.
– For a spicier sauce, add more red pepper flakes.
– If you’re using fresh tomatoes instead of canned ones, make sure to peel them first by briefly boiling them for a minute and then plunging them in ice water.
– You can add other herbs and spices such as bay leaves or thyme to the sauce for added flavor.

Conclusion:

Sicilian tomato sauce is an easy and delicious sauce that can be used on almost any dish. With just a few ingredients and simple steps, you can have a flavorful and versatile sauce in no time. Whether you’re making a pasta dish or a pizza, this sauce is sure to impress your guests and elevate your meal.
