Homemade Tomato Sauce (a Go-To favourite)

This homemade tomato sauce is one of my go-to recipes and I probably make it in some variation at least twice a week

Perfect for a pasta Napolina and its great on steamed chicken or fish.

You can also use as a base for homemade pizza

Add some vegetable stock and pasta and its a minestrone

Add a splash of red wine during cooking and some good lean mince or a meat substitute for Bolognese or lasagne,

Top the above with diced potatoes and a sprinkle of cheese and its a delicious bake

Add some peppers, carrots, spinach, mushrooms and courgettes for an easy way to add veggies to your day,

And if your little ones won’t eat their vegetables whizz up in a blender (or a stick blender) and they will never know!

1 Jar Passata (400g)

1 Medium Onion

2 Cloves Garlic

1 Teaspoon Mixed Italian Herbs

1 Tablespoon Olive or Rapeseed Oil (Cold Pressed)

Roughly chop onions and garlic,

heat oil in a pan and add garlic and onions, cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes.

Add the Passata and herbs, turn heat to low and cook for 10 minutes,

stir occasionally and add a splash of water if it starts to catch…done
