If you're searching for a quick, classic pasta sauce for your family that turns out perfectly every single time and tastes like pure nostalgia, you've got to try this easy tomato sauce recipe!
First, peel the onion, toss it into the mixing bowl, and chop 5 sec / speed 5. Use the spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl and repeat 1–2 times until the onion is super finely minced.
Add the remaining ingredients (except the vinegar and basil) to the mixing bowl.
Secure the lid, set the simmering basket on top instead of the measuring cup (this keeps splatters at bay while letting steam escape), and simmer 10 min / 100 °C / speed 2.
1 Splash of vinegar
Add the vinegar and briefly stir in on speed 2. (The vinegar is key for balancing out the tomato's natural acidity and adding a wonderful extra dimension of flavor! Feel free to pick whichever vinegar suits your taste.)
Spaghetti
Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti on the stovetop according to the package instructions.
Fresh basil
Drain the cooked spaghetti, give the sauce a quick taste test to adjust for salt if needed, and serve topped with fresh basil leaves.
