Method
1
Score the tomatoes in a cross shape, pour boiling water over them for 30 seconds, and peel off the skins. Chop roughly, removing the seeds—this will make the sauce thicker without excess moisture.
2
Heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the garlic for 1–2 minutes without letting it brown. Add the tomatoes, season with salt, and add a pinch of sugar—this removes excess acidity and balances the flavor. Simmer on low heat for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and becomes rich.
3
Stir in the basil at the end and remove from heat. Blend with an immersion blender, leaving it a bit chunky or making it completely smooth, just as you like.
