Master this sauce, With only 2 ingredients
Got plans this long weekend? Why not challenge yourself to master a sauce that will give you bragging rights at your next dinner party. It only takes 2 ingredients and one pot!
Everything we do is for the love of food, and our chef-prepared meals are at the forefront of our business. Each dish is created using the best quality ingredients and authentic methods. We also love teaching, and learning to cook a dish from scratch, is one of the most nurturing things you can do for yourself and those you love. And when that dish originates from one of the most respected cuisines in the world, you just have to.
In The Best Tomato Sauce This Side Of Napoli (recipe below), we teach you how our DOP certified Summerhill San Marzano tomatoes and our premium cold pressed Summerhill extra-virgin olive oil come together and transform into a sauce so velvety and delicious you can almost taste Italy.
When you begin with best quality ingredients you don't have to do too much to them. This sauce goes from pasta to pizza, to your next dinner party with crusty bread and a good bottle of red. Enjoy!
A few notable pantry essentials to keep on hand at all times, and look great on your kitchen counter. Summerhill's Chow Chow and Mother's Favourite Pickles you'll want to smother on everything; Summerhill's extra-virgin olive oil as a dip or a drizzle on almost every dish, and together with our San Marzano tomatoes make the perfect sauce; Italian tuna in olive oil takes your Nicoise salad to another level, or incredible simply stuffed into bread with arugula and tomatoes; and Fig preserves paired with any cheese, our top seller Rosemary crackers or Crostini (below) makes a cheeseboard in instant.
The Best Tomato Sauce This Side Of Napoli Recipe. 1/4 cup Summerhill's cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil, 1 can (796 ml) whole San Marzano tomatoes, sea salt to season.
Note: it's important to use whole canned tomatoes rather than diced or crushed, as whole tomatoes have a more concentrated and robust flavour and squeezed through your hands (or break apart slightly with a spoon once in the pot) cook apart beautifully for a nicer appearance for styling your final dish.
In medium saucepan or pot, warm olive oil over medium high heat; squeeze whole tomatoes through your hands and directly into the pot. Increase the heat to medium high and watch as the sauce reduce for 10-15 stirring occasionally. Once the sauce has reached a slightly thickened stage, season with sea salt to taste.
To make our beautiful Spaghetti With Tomato Sauce as above, cook spaghetti or linguini according to package direction to just before al dente stage; drain reserving a cup of pasta water, then add pasta and reserved water to the sauce and cook until pasta reaches al dente stage and sauce clings to pasta. Sprinkle with a good Parmigiano Reggiano and fresh basil.
If you really wish to take this sauce to even another level, run the finished sauce through a mill to get the seeds out.
