The tomato has a high content of bioactive substances with antioxidant action, including lycopene. The bioavailability of the latter, responsible for the red color of the fruit and potential protector against some types of cancer, increases, contrary to what many may think, with cooking (even 2 or 3 times!). One of the many demonstrations of the fact that, even in the food sector, looking for balance (in this case in the consumption of cooked and raw food) is always the best route :)
First I wash the tomatoes well and remove any damaged or damaged parts, then I cut them into 4 parts and remove the seeds
I put the tomatoes in a pot and let them cook over low heat with the lid, turning them from time to time until they are wilted
At this point I pass the tomatoes with the mill
Transfer the sauce back into the pot, add the oil and salt and let it cook over high heat until it reaches the desired consistency
Add the basil leaves only when the fire is off
The varieties that I usually use to prepare the sauce are: San Marzano, ox heart, Pachino, cherry and datterino
