Basic Pomodoro Sauce is a quick and easy Italian sauce, which gives your pasta creations a rich and spicy taste, derived from ingredients like tomatoes, onions, garlic, spices and herbs.

Tomatoes give this sauce a tangy flavour, while cream gives it a luscious consistency. We suggest using only fresh basil and not dried ones for this recipe, as it gives the best flavour and aroma.

Just add cooked pasta like penne or spaghetti to this sauce, and you have a tangy and tasty dish on the table! Try more of our pasta recipes, like Pasta in White Sauce , Pasta in Red Sauce and Curried Beans Pasta .

I love italian food. I used to iorder a lot in restaurants tossed with spaghetti. I thout of trying it and itts basically a tomato sauce. The fresh basil adds a lovely aroma and flavour and plus adds the fresh green colour to the red tomato sauce.. The chili can be avoided but if you want spicy then you can add..
