Amazing 3 Ingredient Tomato Sauce (and a little trick)
This simple tomato sauce requires only 3 ingredients (not counting salt & pepper). Yet you'll get a sensational dish with just one little trick: Using a lot of onions and blending them into the sauce, reduces the sharp, acidic taste of the tomatoes and makes the sauce more balanced and sweet.
Servings: 2 people
Equipment
- Immersion blender (or food processor)
Ingredients
- 1 small or ½ large onion peeled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 can or bottle of plain tomato, 400g / 14 oz whole, in pieces, or pureed - it doesn't really matter
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Sauté the onion in the olive oil on low to medium heat until soft and glassy.
- Add tomato. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Puree the onions and tomato with a food processor or hand mixer until smooth.
- Taste and correct for salt.
- Serve to your favorite pasta, zoodles, pizza, or any other dish that might require a good, homemade tomato sauce.
Notes
Note: You can also sauté a carrot and a rib of celery in with the onions. This gives the sauce an even sweeter and deeper taste, but it is not necessary.
