Ingredients

  • 600 g fresh tomatoes
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, grated or crushed
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste (optional)
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • Salt and pepper
  • Oil

Instructions

  • Blend the tomatoes to a smooth purée.
  • Heat a splash of oil in a saucepan and fry the onion and garlic for a couple of minutes.
  • Add the tomato paste and cook for a minute or so, then pour in the blended tomatoes, sugar and dried herbs.
    Season the sauce with a little salt and pepper too.
  • Let the sauce simmer over a medium heat until well reduced, stirring regularly.
    It will need around 20-30 minutes, depending on how much liquid the tomatoes contain – and, of course, on how thick you want the sauce.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper, and a little more sugar if you feel it lacks sweetness – this depends very much on the tomatoes.
  • Keep the sauce in the fridge until needed. It also freezes well in smaller portions.
