Step 10
Pour the tomato purée and sautéed vegetables into a saucepan. Add a little water—the amount depends only on you and the quality of the tomatoes. Add sugar, salt, ground pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes after boiling. You can add chopped herbs now if you haven't added them to the sauce earlier. Then blend everything with a blender and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
