How to Make Tomato Sauce from Scratch | Classic Italian-Style Recipe with Chef Tom

Start by introducing the recipe and the quality of ingredients, specifically San Marzano tomatoes from Italy.

Add 1 can of San Marzano tomatoes to the blender.

Pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the blender.

Add 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning to the blender.

Crush and peel 2 cloves of garlic and add them whole into the blender.

Add 1 tablespoon of pesto to the blender.

Blend the mixture until smooth, ensuring the garlic is fully broken down.

Transfer the blended mixture into a pot and cook over medium-high heat until it comes to a simmer.

Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it cook until thickened to your desired consistency.

Add a splash of heavy cream to the sauce for creaminess and richness.

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed, noting that salt should be added at the end if necessary.

Cook butini pasta according to package instructions, then drain.

Dress the cooked pasta with the tomato sauce until fully coated.

Plate the pasta and finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top.
