Napoli Sauce
Description
Homemade sauce recipe. You will definitely love the recipe for Napoletano sauce. This is a classic—can anything be better than this time-tested recipe? The main secret: use very ripe tomatoes and only sea salt (it adds a pleasant bitterness, turning the tomato sauce into an Italian delicacy). Serve the sauce with meat, fish, or use it as a salad dressing.

2. Place the tomatoes in a saucepan, simmer over low heat, adding onion, garlic, salt, oregano, and bay leaf. I used fresh basil, so I added that as well. It's important to simmer, stirring constantly and lightly crushing the tomatoes as they cook.

3. I don't mash all the tomatoes: I leave a couple of small ones for garnish. And when the sauce has thickened slightly, serve it with pasta or pizza.
