Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Dice the red onions into small pieces.

Step 2

Slice the fresh red chillies thinly, removing the seeds if you'd like less heat.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.

Step 4

Sauté the garlic, onions, and red chillies in the olive oil for 5 minutes, or until soft and fragrant.

Add the chopped tomatoes (or canned tomatoes) and tomato paste to the pan. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Add the sugar, salt, ground black pepper, and white vinegar to the mixture.

Step 7

Pour in the water, stir, and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Use a handheld immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a blender to puree the sauce until smooth.

Step 10

Return the sauce to the saucepan if blended separately. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt, sugar, or pepper if needed.

Step 11

Tear the fresh basil leaves and stir them into the sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Step 12

Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat.

Step 13

Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving or storing in sterilized jars.
