‍

Preparation

Sauce base

In a pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the finely chopped onion, celery, and carrot, and sauté gently until softened without browning.
Add the peeled tomatoes, season with salt and a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity. Let it simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes, until the sauce thickens and concentrates.

Roasted tomatoes

If the roasted tomatoes are not prepared beforehand, place them in the oven with a bit of olive oil, salt, and basil at 180°C for 20–25 minutes, until lightly caramelized.
Add them to the sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking to deepen the flavor.

Cooking the spaghetti

Cook the spaghetti in plenty of salted water according to the time indicated on the package. Drain al dente and add directly to the pan with the sauce.
Toss well over low heat for 1–2 minutes so the pasta absorbs the sauce.
