Ingredients1 onion, finely chopped2 cloves of garlic crushed 1 tin of chopped tomatoes Tomato puree, to taste Worcester sauce, to taste 1 tsp Dijon mustard 1 tsp sugar Mushrooms cut into small pieces Sweetcorn Pasta of your choice |
Handy HintThis is a great base to add all sorts of other ingredients to. I often add tuna fish near the end of the cooking time or even some cooked sausages. You can turn it into a bake by transfering to an oven dish, topping with cheese (cheddar, mozzerella etc) and putting in the oven for 10 mins. Can also be used as a great base for making pizzas. I have often hidden vegetables such as courgette and broccoli (adding at the beginning of cooking) and then blitzing in the food processer. |
