A recipe from a great friend of our editorial team, Italian chef Mirko Zago. With a quote from the author: "This sauce can be used for pizza, pasta, as a base for tomato soup (diluted with broth or water), it is deliciously thickly spread on bread, and we will dip croutons in it. The basis for this sauce is freshly squeezed tomato juice - it makes a smoother, more uniform and richer sauce than from pureed pulp. True, you will not need many more tomatoes for such a sauce.
