👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    In a bowl, mix the tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, oregano and black pepper with the salt.
    ⚙ Pan-fryingStovePot
  2. 2
    Add and fry 3 minutes, until the peppers soften.
    ⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove
    💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.
  3. 3
    Add the tomato paste and stir about a minute, until fragrant.
    ⚙ SimmeringStove
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  4. 4
    Add the basil leaves to the finished sauce.
