Tips and tricks
- I 'v sliced the garlic, so it does not taste too much. If you crush or chop finely, more flavor of garlic will be tasted.
- Note not to fry garlic, basil, and parsley too much. As soon as their aroma rises, add tomato puree.
- The sauce thickens as it cooks. if you want it thinner, you should turn off the heat soon. The longer you cook the sauce, the thicker it gets
Background & History
This sauce is very similar to the marinara I taught earlier, but adding sliced garlic gives a different flavor to this recipe.
