  • Sauté the vegetables in the olive oil for about 10 minutes, until they lose their water content.

  • Add the tomato purée (passata di pomodoro) and the remaining 4 cloves of garlic, and let it simmer for 15 minutes over low heat. The longer you cook it, the better it gets. But for a quick meal, it’s totally OK to simmer it for just 15 minutes. Add salt, pepper, basil, and oregano to taste.
