Homemade tomato sauce - The quickest method
Ciao, I’m Chef Marco!
I’m a 27-year-old Italian chef from Abruzzo, born and raised in the heart of Italy. Growing up in my family’s restaurant in Pescara, I spent over 10 years honing my skills and developing a deep passion for cooking. Three years ago, I took a leap and moved to NYC to share my love for authentic Italian cuisine.
I believe cooking from scratch isn’t just a rewarding and creative process—it’s also essential for a healthier lifestyle. On this channel, you’ll find step-by-step Italian and Mediterranean recipes designed to help you ditch highly processed food and embrace wholesome, delicious meals.
Today, to avoid highly processed pasta sauces, I’m showing you the easiest way to make a tomato sauce from scratch.You might have seen around the internet and probably on my other profiles the most common way to make a tomato sauce, the one that involves boiling the tomatoes at first to remove the skin. I usually do it that way and I’m definitely gonna show you in the next videos all the steps you need to prepare the tomato sauce that way but today we’re cutting some steps.
1-) Dice either onions, shallots or garlic.
If you’re making a basic tomato sauce you can just follow your taste while some recipes require one of the other (Marinara or Arrabbiata must have garlic) 2-) Heat up some good quality EVOO and cook the onions into it. I usually do it for 7/8 minutes at low heat but a couple of minutes works just fine.
3-) Cut the tomatoes and add it to the pan. You can cut is as small as you prefer, depending on how long you wanna cook the sauce. The bigger the longer.
4-) Season with salt and fresh basil. Some people add sugar too, I’m usually one of them but today I wanted to keep it as simple as possible. Add basil twice: While the sauce is cooking and at the end. 5-) After minimum 30mins your sauce is ready. You can eat it right away with tomatoes and onions chunks ( that’s what I do) or blend everything into a smoother sauce. You can enjoy the sauce with some pasta or bread, even make pizza with it. Pizza sauce is usually uncooked and under seasoned compared to what I showed you today, If you wanna see a dedicated Piazza sauce video, make sure you subscribe!
