Description

Embrace the essence of Italian cooking with this classic Napoli Sauce, a staple that can be paired with your favorite pasta, enriched with meat or seafood for a heartier dish, or spread over your own homemade pizza, this sauce is a testament to the simplicity and richness of Italian flavors.

Prepare the Napoli Sauce with ease in our Blu. 20cm Saucepan, designed for seamless cooking and perfect results every time. The compact size of the Blu saucepan is ideal for simmering the sauce to perfection, ensuring a consistent, flavorful base for a variety of dishes.

Method

In our 20cm sauce pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until combined. Add garlic, chilli flakes and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until combined.

Add the tomatoes, oregano, salt and black pepper, and stir to combine. Use a wooden spoon or a potato masher to gently break up the tomatoes as the sauce continues to heat. Stir in the fresh basil sprigs.

Continue cooking the sauce until it reaches a simmer. Then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and continue to simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove and discard the fresh basil sprigs. Taste and season the sauce with salt and pepper, as needed. (If you prefer a smoother sauce you can also puree it in a blender)
