Simple Napoli Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves (crushed)
• 2 Large carrots (grated)
• 700 g Tomato Passata (I used the brand Mutti Passata)
• 1 cup Basil (fresh) (I used a very generous handful)
• Salt & pepper (I used a generous amount of both)

Steps

1. In a saucepan add olive oil, keep on a low heat.
2. Once the oil has heated up, place the garlic in and give it a good stir to mix through the oil.
3. Once the garlic becomes slightly brown add the carrot and mix well.
4. After about 5 minutes add the passata, basil and salt and pepper. Mix well.
5. Place a lid on the saucepan and let it simmer on a low heat for at least 45-60 minutes.
6. Keep the basil in the saucepan / storage container until you are ready to serve.
