Let’s make “ketchup” ourselves. A pleasant sauce with a basil flavor, moderately spicy, quite salty and pleasantly sweet – such is the set of flavors given by the trio of tomatoes. Adding cloves will enrich the sauce with a spicy flavor. You can use it immediately for dressing spaghetti, for making pizza, vegetable lasagna, and to make a winter preserves. Salt, sharpness and acidity of the sauce can be changed, depending on the tastes of your family. Help yourself to “Buono, buono”! I heard this recipe from Chef Davide Scabin, who has two Michelin stars and three forks “Gambero”. Of course, to repeat exactly and cook like a chef, I’ll never be able to. But I risked making at least a little bit of a similar sauce.
