Instructions

  1. Set up a saucepan and sauté the finely diced onion with the garlic.
  2. Add the tomatoes to the saucepan and simmer over medium heat. Pluck the herbs from the stalk and chop them into small pieces. They can also be added to the pot at the same time. Bring to the boil briefly and then remove the pot from the plate. Season to taste with sugar, pepper, salt and nutmeg.
  3. Let it steep for about 10 - 15 minutes and let it simmer again briefly before use. Sauces usually taste better when they are warmed up the second time.
  4. If you like, you can add some parmesan to the sauce, then it will be tastier and a little creamier.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
