Gather Your Ingredients
Before You Begin
In this recipe, tomatoes are simmered slowly without garlic, onion or oil to keep intact their sweet, clear flavor. If tomatoes in puree are unavailable, strain tomatoes and add back only one cup of liquid. The full strength of the olive oil comes through in this sauce, since it's added just before serving. If you do not have a food mill, you can puree this sauce in a food processor, as long as you carefully seed the tomatoes before cooking.
Instructions
1.
Put tomatoes, puree, and carrot in a large saucepan; bring to simmer; continue to simmer, partially covered and stir occasionally until thickened slightly, about 45 minutes. Puree by passing through a food mill. Return to simmer; season to taste with salt and pepper; before serving, stir in olive oil and basil.
