Napoli Sauce for Pasta

Ripe Tomatoes-2 Garlic-8 Onion-1 Butter/Olive Oil Cheese-optional Brine of pickled olive-1/2 tsp Heat 2 tbsp butter or olive oil in saucepan.  Add chopped garlic-8 to 10 garlic cloves. Fry till brown and smelling lovely.  Add 1  large chopped onion and stir. Reduce heat to medium. Add  some salt,and cook, slowly, till onions are translucent.  Add 2 chopped tomatoes (ripe and soft). Puree them if they are firm.. Don't add any water. Add salt, pepper and brine. Keep frying while stirring frequently.  Simmer, add a tbsp of ketchup, stir till mixed well.  Add 50 ml of water, red chilli flakes and simmer. Add mixed herbs- thyme,basil and oregano. If you want it cheesy, add in 2 cubes of grated cheese or 2 slices of cheese in the step, before adding the water.(You have to Skip the water. )Let it melt and add milk instead of water. It gives a dreamy creamy sauce!! Traditionally, wine is added in Napoli sauce, but I don't  use it.
