Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tins tomatoes (chopped (800g / 28 oz total))
  • 1/4 cup tomato puree (50g)
  • 1/3 cup chopped basil leaves (15g - or 1 tbsp dried basil plus 1 tbsp dried oregano)
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • 1 small onion (finely chopped (50g) or 1 tsp onion powder)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 pepper

Instruction

  • Sauté the onion in olive oil for 2 minutes on a medium heat. Add the garlic for 1 further minute. Add the tomatoes, tomato puree and dried herbs if using. If using fresh, add at the end. Season with salt and cracked black pepper.
  • Bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer. Reduce down to concentrate for 10 minutes with the lid ajar slightly to prevent splattering all over your kitchen. Stir through torn basil leaves if using fresh.
  • Blitz with a hand blender or leave chunky if you prefer.
