    EASY TOMATOES SAUCE ITALIAN WAY with garlic and fresh basil

    This Easy tomatoes sauce is so tasty and fast to prepare! Tomatoes are cooked along with garlic and sweet basil, just the time to soft them. The more tomatoes are ripe, the more sauce will be delicious! To prepare this recipe a vegetable mill is not mandatory, but I strongly suggest to use  it. A blender works fine as well, but the sauce texture will be not the same!
