🍅 How to properly cook canned tomato pulp

To make an authentic tasting pomodoro sauce using canned pulp:

1. I poured the pulp into a pan with the previously sautéed onion and garlic base.
2. Cook over medium heat until the tomato reduces its acidity and thickens (15–20 minutes).
3. Add ½ teaspoon of sugar if needed to balance the acidity.
4. Finally, add fresh basil to give it aroma and flavor.

Tip: Choose tomato pulp without added sugar or preservatives for best results.
