What Happens in Vegas Tomato (Napoli) Sauce
Just a spoonful of sugar, literally.
Ingredients
- 2x 400g tins tomato (I used to use only 1 tin but I now use 2 because of the number of tomatoes per tin, also I prefer cherry tomatoes)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1-2 garlic clove, minced
- ⅔ cup white wine (also not traditional). Hack: pour the wine into the tomato tins first and swirl to ensure you capture any remaining tomato juice
- ½ tbsp brown sugar
- herbs, basil is traditional, but parsley works too. I like a small handful
- salt and pepper
- olive oil
Instructions
- Gently fry the onion in olive oil until soft without colouring.
- Add garlic and stir till fragrant.
- Add in the tomatoes, white wine and brown sugar.
- Simmer for 20 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens. Taste, and if you think it needs it, you can add in some more sugar.
- Stir in herbs and season to taste.
- Use with pasta or as a pizza topping.
