Simple Tomato Pasta Sauce

This is a recipe that everyone needs to know! A basic pasta meal is always a winner with my boy, and is very adaptable too.

For this you will need:

1 tin of tomatoes (I used plum tomatoes)

2 tbsp tomato purée paste

1 white onion diced

Herbs of your choice. Great ones to use are Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, mixed herbs etc.

1 clove garlic diced

Olive oil

Salt and pepper for seasoning (optional)

Heat a little oil in a pan and add the onion. Fry until soft and add the garlic. Cook for a further minute and add the tinned tomatoes followed by the tomato purée. Break up the tomatoes as well as you can. Add a sprinkle of herbs and season with salt and pepper if using. Reduce the heat to a simmer and leave until sauce has thickened. Meanwhile you could start to cook your pasta as per the packet instructions. Once pasta is cooked, drain and mix into the sauce. Then serve!
