Instructions

Heat the butter over medium-low heat and add the chopped yellow onions and garlic. Sauté until the onions are soft, about 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After two minutes, add the basil leaves and continue cooking. Add the tomato sauce, tomato puree, and water and stir. Put over medium heat and bring to a simmer over medium flame.
Mascarpone cheese should be added and whisked until melted. Stirring often, simmer for an additional ten minutes.
Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture, or add it to a conventional blender, but proceed with care. You can only place a small amount in a traditional blender at a time and should always use caution when blending hot mixtures in your blender!) Blend until smooth.
Season with salt, pepper, and sugar after tasting. Serve over your favorite pasta or gnocchi and freshly grated cheese or chopped parsley.

Notes

Stir constantly to avoid burning the bottom and ensure a smooth texture.
The consistency of palomino sauce depends on you. If you prefer the palomino sauce thin then try adding some more water to the sauce and if you like it thick then simmer for longer until your desired consistency is achieved.
Simmer the sauce slowly and gently to attain a deep flavor. Do not simmer the sauce on high flame and allow the flavors and aroma to spread throughout the sauce.
Taste the palomino sauce and adjust the spice.
Storage Suggestions
Store the palomino sauce in an airtight container and place it in the fridge for 3-4 days. For a longer period of storage, freeze the sauce in an airtight jar for up to one month.
