Tomato Pasta Sauce

If you’re in the middle of revising and don’t have time to spend many hours each day slaving over a hot stove, because if you leave your seat in the library for 45 minutes at quarter to 8 in the morning then it’ll get stolen (true story), here’s your answer 🙂

Make up a big batch of this sauce, store in jars [sterilise first by shaking some boiling water about in them – with the lids on], seal when warm, keep in fridge, spread on pizza, add extra veg and serve on pasta, brown some mince and add this and some carrots for making spag-bol, schlop a bit into chicken fajitas… it’s is amazingly versatile.

2 onions

2 cloves garlic

4 tbsp olive oil

2-3 cans tomatoes (either chopped, or shake a knife about in cans of plum tomatoes)

4 tbsp tomato purée

Vegetable stock cube

1 tbsp italian seasoning

Slosh Worchester sauce

Spoonful of mustard

1. Chop and fry onions and garlic in olive oil
