1 handful fresh basil leaves
2-3 garlic cloves
3 tbsp. “extra vergine” olive oil
1 pinch salt

Step 3
Press the tomatoes with a fork or use a blender. Add to the tomato sauce together with the minced garlic and let the homemade tomato sauce simmer again.
Step 4
You can now serve the finished tomato sauce warm. For example, homemade pasta, tortellini or meat and fish dishes are suitable.
