Tips & Tricks (5)
- Bloom Your Tomato Paste 🍅Cook the tomato paste in olive oil for 1-2 minutes before adding other ingredients to deepen its flavor and reduce bitterness.
- Fresh Herbs at the End 🌿Add fresh basil and oregano in the final minute of cooking to preserve their bright, aromatic qualities rather than simmering them away.
- Balance Acidity with Butter 🧈Whisk in cold butter at the very end to create a silky texture and round out the acidity from the San Marzano tomatoes for a more refined sauce.
- Taste and Adjust Seasonally 🧂San Marzano tomatoes vary by harvest; taste your sauce and adjust salt, sugar, and garlic individually rather than following ratios blindly.
- Simmer Low and Slow 🔥Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer (not a rolling boil) for 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld and concentrate without burning the bottom.
