Rustic Tomato Sauce for Ravioli | Serves 4
🍴INGREDIENTS🍴
1lb / 500g Fresh Ravioli (see notes)
2x 14oz/400g cans of good quality Peeled Plum Tomatoes (see notes)
4 fat cloves of Garlic, peeled & very finely sliced
1 small bunch of Fresh Basil, finely diced (typically sold in 1oz/30g packs)
2 tbsp good quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt & Black Pepper, to taste
Optional
1/4-1/2 tsp Chilli Flakes, start off conservatively then adjust at the end (add at the same time as garlic)
pinch of Sugar, if the tomatoes are still a touch sour after simmering
Parmesan, to serve
🍴METHOD🍴
To a large pan add 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil with the heat OFF. Add in finely sliced garlic and bring to a low-medium heat. Gently fry until the garlic softens and just about starts to tinge a very light golden.
Add in plum tomatoes and swill out the cans with a splash of water. Sprinkle in basil then add a good pinch of salt and pepper (can adjust this later). Bring to a very gentle simmer and cook for around 30-35mins, stirring occasionally and breaking up the tomatoes as you go. You want the sauce to be nice and thick with no visible signs of it being watery.
A couple of mins just before the sauce is done, pop your ravioli in salted boiling water and cook to packet instruction (usually just needs a few mins).
Test the sauce for seasoning and adjust accordingly. Now is when you can add a pinch of sugar if the tomatoes are still a touch sour. Use a ladle to transfer the ravioli from the water into the sauce. Toss to combine.
Serve individual portions with any extra basil you have and parmesan if you fancy it. Enjoy!
