This sauce is made once a fortnight in our house, I make a big batch and use when needed. My kids will eat it just with Pasta and Parmesan(or cheddar if I have none, they don’t care) which is a great mid week meal for when you are in a rush but still want to feed your family an easy,decent meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE – this recipe makes a around 3 meals worth, to be split up and used when required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Step One<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Heat up heavy bottom pot add olive oil and fry onion, garlic and chilli until soft and translucent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Two<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Add tinned tomatoes and thyme and bring to simmer stirring to ensure tomatoes do not stick to bottom of pan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Three<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Leave to barely simmer on low heat stirring occasionally for 30 mins to 2 hours dependent on time and intensity of flavour<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Four<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Check for seasoning, if the tomatoes are bitter they may need a small amount of sugar to sweeten the sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optional – Blend if you do not like chunky bits of tomato(like my daughter)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This sauce can be kept in the fridge for up to 7 days and frozen once cooled to be used for many other dishes – I use this with meatballs.(my recipe on the European page)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipe can be used as Pizza sauce and \nis also really good with some fried Chirozo sausage,bacon or salami and \npeas with your choice of pasta. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
