Print Recipe
- 500 g whole canned plum tomatoes (San Marzano if possible) about 2 cans
- a pinch of baking soda
- fine sea salt to taste
Slice in half your canned tomatoes lengthwise. Discard their inner juices and seeds by using a teaspoon.
Transfer the tomatoes into a blender, and add in any pulp left in the can, removing any seeds. Blend for a few seconds, until you have a smooth tomato pulp.
Add a pinch of baking soda and mix. If the sauce is still too acidic, just add another pinch of baking soda. Then season with a generous pinch of fine sea salt and your sauce is ready.
Marinara Sauce:
For the marinara sauce, add a swirl of extra-virgin olive oil, a generous pinch of oregano, a garlic clove, and a pinch of freshly-cracked black pepper.
Let the ingredients marinate for about 30 minutes and, just before use, remove the garlic.
Storage Tips:
Once ready, use it up straight away, and store the leftover sauce in an airtight jar, in the fridge for up to 2 days. Or freeze in freezer-friendly containers for up to 6 weeks.
