Please stop wasting your money by buying these artificial ready-made tomato sauces for Pasta. You can create any of these yourself with no trouble at all. Once made, you can freeze it for 6 months, or store it in the fridge for 2-3 days no problem. All of this without any unnatural flavourings, fillers or stabilizers. To be honest though, I think most people only buy these products because they have never thought about or tried to make the sauce themselves, but you can definately do it! Easily. Trust me..
INGREDIENTS:
1 medium sized onion diced up small,
2 cloves of garlic crushed up, and diced,
800g of chopped tomatoes (either fresh, or two 400g tins)
1/2 teaspoon mixture of dried thyme and oregano,
1 or 2 teaspoons of tomato concentrate,
salt and pepper to season sauce.
METHOD:
-Fry some chopped onion and garlic in a pan, in a little oil, until nice and soft but not coloured.
-Add the chopped tomatoes, a teaspoon or two of tomato concentrate, the italian herbs, the salt and pepper, and cook, uncovered on a gentle heat for between 10-30 minutes, until you get the desired consistency.
That is it finished. This sauce can be used right away served on pasta, or can be cooled and stored in the fridge for a few days, or even frozen for later use (upto 6 months later, easily).
However, don't think that is it. This sauce, can be used as a base to lots of other Italian dishes, some of which I will be listing later. You will be amazed at how easy some of the resturaunt favourites are to make. Enjoy!
