Instructions

Preparation and Cooking Steps

1. Begin by grating the fresh tomatoes to remove their skins, which enhances the smoothness of the sauce.
2. In a skillet, sauté the onions in butter or olive oil until they turn translucent and fragrant.
3. Once the onions are ready, incorporate the grated tomatoes along with their juices, followed by a splash of wine or ouzo, sugar, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer gently, adding a little water if necessary to adjust the consistency.
4. Meanwhile, cook the pasta of your choice according to package instructions. Enhance the boiling water with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
5. Finely chop the basil leaves and stir them into the simmering tomato sauce for a fresh herbal note.
6. Once the pasta is al dente, serve it topped with the rich tomato sauce and a generous shaving of Parmesan cheese. For an added, refreshing touch, accompany this dish with a traditional Greek salad.
7. For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a half beef bouillon cube to the sauce during the simmering process.
