Basic Tomato Pasta Sauce
More than just a plain old tin of tomatoes, this sauce forms the foundation for loads of delicious pasta dishes.

Basic Tomato Pasta Sauce

Metric Imperial

Ingredients

3 tbsp NOMU Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely diced
Splash of white wine (optional)
2 x 400g tins chopped Italian tomatoes
1 tsp NOMU Sea Salt
1 tsp sugar

Directions

Heat the Olive Oil in a heavy-based pot and gently fry the onion until soft and translucent but not browned. (Add a pinch of salt and pop the lid on to prevent burning). Add the garlic and fry for a minute. Deglaze the pan with a splash of wine and allow the alcohol to cook off, then stir in the tomatoes, Sea Salt and sugar.

Simmer with the lid on for a minimum of 1 hour (preferably 2) until the flavour has intensified and you have a rich sauce. Adjust the seasoning and add a pinch more sugar if too acidic.

 

Tip: This sauce forms the base of loads of delicious pastas, like this Spaghetti Meatballs. Add ingredients like sliced cooked chicken, fried bacon, tinned tuna, fresh herbs, feta, capers or olives to create your own signature pasta!
