[nailpolish]

TIA

we usually have cheese sauce because i can make that!

TIA

what you got in?

most things, store cupboard has been restocked lately

nothing too elaborate though please, its for dd's who like plain and simple

fry onion add garlic, add tin tomatoes bring to boil simmer for 30 mins (tbsp basil, 1/2 tbsp oregano, pinch rosemary)

or fry onion and bacon / pancetta, add garlic, add tin tomatoes and basil and simmer for 30 mins

or fry onion and garlic .. add tin tomatoes veg of choice (mushrooms, peppers, courgettes etc) basil, oregano, rosemary simmer as before

oh .. you can make without onino if you want too

Tomato sauce

Dice an onion really small and sweat it slowly in oil till it softens (low heat) then add a tablespoon of tom puree and garlic (? 1 clove)

Stir around briefly

Add a splash of old wine if you have it to deglaze the pan, then add a carton of passata and some sugar to taste. I also add a drop of Tabasco. It will look pretty unexciting a tthis point?BUT let it simmer slowly for 30 mins or until it thickens and turns dark red and it goes very sweet and nice.

Add veg to taste and simmer or parmesan on top of pasta.

1 can of chopped tomatoes, squirt of tomato puree, little bit of pepper, dash of olive oil and some basil (and garlic if you like). For a spicy one, add in some chilli paste or flakes or alternatively oregano. For a posh one use sun dried tomato paste instead of tomato puree.

Blend it all up and heat and away ya go!!!

Sling in toms, whisk up in the food processor to make sauce. Ready and if you make a huge batch it freezes dead good.
