i havent tried this but i am doing next week

olive oil
1 lrg red onion chopped
250 g diced pancetta
100ml dry white wine
2 x 400g tins of cherry toms

fry off onion for 5 mins, add pancetta and cook for further 3 mins, pour in wine and cook for 2 mins to evaporate alcohol, add toms. chilli and simmer for 8 mins, cook pasta, stir together, add parsley and give it a stir and sprinkle on pecorino! Fantastico!

Finely chop half an onion, a clove of garlic and a fresh chilli pepper, leaving a few of the seeds in for heat ... then cook slowly in plenty of olive oil until softened and translucent. Add salt, a pinch of sugar, a few screws of black pepper and about 400g passata (or a 400g can chopped tomatoes blended smooth). Cook this very, very slowly on the hob until all the flavours are blended together and the sauce is reduced by about 1/3.

This is the spicy base.... you can now add things like chopped Chorizo sausage, King Prawns or sliced mushrooms if you wish. Finish with plenty of fresh torn up basil leaves and then stir in your cooked pasta before serving.

Saute finely chopped onions and garlic add either finely chopped hot chili pepper or the jared hot chili paste to taste.Mix in loads of dried basil and ground black pepper. Add your chopped canned tomatoes bring to a gentle boil,add sugar to taste, add more chili paste or dried chili flakes at this point if you want and simmer gently for about 30 mins. Done
