Sughetto Pomodoro & Basilico

"Sughetto" means little sauce: the farm's tomatoes and basil, already cooked, ready to warm.

This is the jar for the night there is no time. The family cooks its own organic tomatoes with basil into a finished sauce — sughetto, the little sauce — so the distance between the stove and the table is however long the pasta takes.

Ready is not the same as industrial: it is made on the farm from the farm's harvest, by hand, in the season.

Warm it gently, salt the pasta water properly, and finish with a thread of good oil. That is the entire recipe.

Meet the House: Tomatoes from a Puglian farm in the Foggia countryside, grown organically on land the family has worked for four generations.
