A delightful and easy-to-make cherry tomato sauce with a hint of basil, perfect for pasta or gnocchi.
Prepare the garlic by peeling and finely mincing it.
Using fresh garlic enhances the flavor of the sauce.
Dice the onion into small pieces.
A fine dice ensures the onion cooks evenly and blends well into the sauce.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the onions to prevent sticking.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened and fragrant.
Stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the skillet.
Halving the tomatoes helps them release their juices faster.
Simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down into a sauce.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water to adjust the consistency.
Chop the basil and stir it into the sauce just before serving.
Adding basil at the end preserves its fresh flavor.
Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Taste the sauce before seasoning to avoid over-salting.
Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta or gnocchi and enjoy.
Garnish with additional fresh basil leaves for a beautiful presentation.
