“Why has it taken me so long to publish this recipe?” It’s a question I’ve asked myself at least a dozen times since putting this post together. Perhaps it’s because it is one of those intuitive, ‘made-by-memory’ recipes that I’ve never bothered to write down.
Either way, this tomato sauce has been a staple in my kitchen for years. It relies on simple pantry ingredients and always hits the spot when I’m craving a classic tomato pasta. It’s also beautifully forgiving—the kind of recipe you can tweak and adjust by taste without losing the heart of what makes it so good.
While this sauce celebrates the humble, yet reliable canned tomato, it’s elevated with a touch of onion, lots of caramelized garlic gloves, and a heavy infusion of fresh basil—which, for me, makes all the difference. The taste captures the essence of summer, yet it’s something you can pull together any day of the year.
