This is a recipe for the basis of any good Italian dish - a tomato sauce.

Follow this recipe and you cannot go wrong, it'll be the best sauce you've ever tasted and is easy to adapt to your own personal taste. 

Ingredients

Feeds 4-5 people. 

3 tins of chopped tomaotes

2 cloves of garlic

olive oil

salt and pepper

tomato puree

Heat a glug of olive oil in a frying pan

Chop the crush or chop the garlic quite fine and add to a heated frying pan. Be careful to make sure you stir the garlic in the pan so that it doesn't burn.

Pour the chopped tinned tomatoes into a saucepan. Add the garlic.

Stir together for a minute.

Add salt and pepper and a good squeeze of tomato puree.

Simmer for about 20 minutes.

Thelonger you can leave a tomato sauce the better it will taste. I always find it's better to cook the sauce the day before eating as the flavours blend together better.
