Ingredients

tin of tomatoes
tin of beans (eg borlotti)
onion
garlic clove
red pepper
1 mushroom.

Handy Hint

I make big batches of this and freeze in ice cube trays. You could add whatever veg you want to get your kids to eat really. I sometimes add to my son's favourite bought sauce and he doesn't seem to notice!

Method

chop the onion. pepper and mushroom, crush the garlic. Fry these in a little oil.
Take half out and blitz with the tinned tomatoes and beans to make a puree. Return to the pan and simmer 20 minutes.
Serve with pasta.
