- 1 large onion
- 3-4 cloves of garlic
- sprig of fresh basil
- olive oil
- rosemary

Instructions
Step 1
Prepare food. Take tomatoes. They should be ripe but firm. In winter, it is better to replace fresh tomatoes with canned tomatoes in their own juice (fresh ones during this period do not give a rich taste and color). Heat the water in a saucepan to a boil, make a cruciform cut in the tomatoes and dip each in boiling water for a minute. After scalding, peel off the peel that is easily loose from the tomatoes. Chop the tomatoes into small cubes or chop them in a blender.
Step 2
Peel the onion and chop it finely. You can also use a blender to do this, but keep in mind that this will take no more than 5 seconds, otherwise the onion will turn into porridge. After chopping the onion in a blender, squeeze it out.
Step 3
Peel the garlic. Chop it finely. It is important not to pass it through a garlic press, namely to chop it - this way it will give more taste and aroma to the dish.
Step 4
Wash and dry the basil. Separate the leaves from the stems and chop them finely. In the absence of fresh basil, replace it with the seasoning in the package, in this case add no more than one teaspoon.
Step 5
Heat a frying pan, add a little olive oil. Fry the onion until soft, add the garlic to it and fry for another couple of minutes.
Step 6
Add tomatoes to the skillet. If you use canned tomatoes in your own juice, then first peel each of the skins and grind the entire contents of the jar along with the juice in blenders.
Step 7
Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. After this time, add the basil, rosemary, salt and pepper to the sauce and simmer for another 10 minutes.
Step 8
After turning off the heat, leave the sauce under the closed lid to infuse for 10-15 minutes.
