HOMEMADE NAPOLITANA SAUCE

HOMEMADE NAPOLITANA SAUCE
Serves: 4
6 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
500g fresh ripe tomatoes, chopped (or tinned)
1 teaspoon caster sugar
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 small red chilli, finely chopped (optional)
fresh basil leaves
In a pan heat olive oil, add garlic and when it starts getting golden, add the tomatoes and sugar. Sugar is important because it takes away the acidity of the tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper, and, if you like, the chilli. Lower the heat and let simmer for 30 minutes. That’s all.
To serve, pour over cooked spaghetti and sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese.
