For a richer flavor, sauté the celery, onion, and bell pepper in olive oil before adding the tomatoes. If using fresh basil, add it towards the end of the cooking process to preserve its flavor. This dish is excellent served warm over pasta, polenta, or grilled bread. It can also be used as a base for soups and sauces.

May 17, 2025I made this last night and it was a huge hit! I used canned tomatoes because I didn't have fresh ones, and it still turned out great.
