Traditional Tomato Sauce
One of the easiest, tastiest and time honoured sauces there is.
You need - for 4 as a main course served with pasta
1 onion finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic crushed
12 plum tomatoes skinned and chopped
basil torn
olive oil
salt and pepper
1 tbsp sugar
Fry the onion in olive oil until soft, add the garlic and cook for a further minute. Lightly season. Stir in the tomatoes and sugar and simmer on a low flame for at least 2 hours stirring occasionally. Add the torn basil and season to taste. Simple and effective. Serve with penne, conchigle, etc - something that will hold the sauce well.
