Snails in Tomato Sauce

@manu-food-writer

The traditional Sardinian recipe for snails in tomato sauce requires soaking the snails in cold water for about 1 hour to purge them, washing them well, transferring them to a large pot with cold water and garlic cloves, cooking over very low heat so they all come out, adding salt and cooking for 30 minutes. Prepare a basic sauce with flavors like onion, carrot, and chili pepper, add the tomato puree, and finally add the snails to the sauce and cook for another 20 minutes. Finally, add fresh basil to taste.
