easy tomato sauce recipes for pasta dishes

[robinredbreast]

hi want to make spag bol next week for me dd 7months and dh, normally use dolmio or something but i suppose these hav salt in, so how do i make my own tomato sauce

roast some tomatos blend with some basil? maybe use a little garlic and onion?

i do pasatta with chopped onion, carrot, bacon, garlic, oregano, basil, parsley and chives.

oh and nutmeg and a glass of red wine.

mmmm i thought of using a little wine but dd is only 7 months

good idea about the herbs

so nappyaddict do you thinks its ok to use a little bit of bacon?

fry onion, add some garlice, mushrooms, pepper, then a tin of chopped toms.

If using meat then I fry that first.

Much cheaper than dolmio too and nicer IMO.

Roast your tomatoes with other veggies, onions, peppers, mushrooms, courgettes, whole garlic cloves - whatever, really - plenty of olive oil and seasoning. When they're done, whizz them all up (leave some chunks if you like)- makes a lovely sauce and is a good way of upping your veg intake.

the alcohol will evaporate in cooking so it is ok to use it. bacon does have salt in it but i don't personally worry about it. cheese does too but i wouldn't stop him eating that!

olive oil
2 chopped cloves of garlic
warm through
add 2 tins whole toms
teaspoon sugar
herbs
simmer 20 mins
whizz

if i haven't got much time i literally just use passata and oregano though.

thanks ill give it a go this week
