INGREDIENTS:
1 jar (2 cups) high quality Passata (eg. Mutti)
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Garlic olive oil
1 tsp Kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 tsp of sugar (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
On medium heat, place olive oils in medium sauce pan. Heat until shimmering, then add passata. Add salt, pepper and sugar. Stir and bring to gentle boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and add basil leaves. Stir and set aside. Tip: Passata is simply strained tomatoes, not "tomato sauce" which contains additives.
