Scale

Sauce Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ⅓ cup tomato paste
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the finely diced onions and minced garlic, cooking for 4-5 minutes until the onions become soft and translucent, releasing their flavor.
  2. Add tomato paste: Stir in the tomato paste and cook for about 1 minute to deepen its flavor and remove the raw taste.
  3. Add liquids and seasonings: Pour in the low-sodium chicken stock and the can of diced tomatoes (with juices). Add sugar to balance the acidity, then sprinkle in Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Simmer the sauce: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Let it cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes to thicken and meld the flavors together.
  5. Finish with cream: Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2 minutes to create a smooth, rich texture.
  6. Serve: Spoon the sauce over your cooked ravioli and enjoy a delicious and easy meal.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium chicken stock to control the saltiness of the sauce.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken stock with vegetable broth.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and sugar, depending on your preference.
  • This sauce pairs well not only with ravioli but also with other pasta like tortellini or gnocchi.
  • Leftover sauce can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
