Pasta & Tomato Sauce


This simple but tasty tomato sauce is cheap to make and can be used as a basis for many meals but on this occasion is served with penne pasta. To intensify the flavours cook slowly for about an hour.
Ingredients: Tin of tomatoes; 2 red onions; garlic; fresh basil; salt & black pepper & olive oil.
Chop onions and garlic and fry gently in olive oil for about 20mins. Stir regularly so that the onions & garlic remain translucent. Add tomatoes, salt and black pepper and simmer for another 30 mins. Add chopped basil just before serving.
I have used basil here but any selection of herbs is ok. Chillies also work well.
