Description

This tomato pasta sauce is simple and delicious. It contains just 6 ingredients and is very easy to cook. It can be stored in the fridge for over a week so it is ready whenever you want to make a fresh bowl of pasta! It is a traditional Italian recipe given to me by my boyfriend’s mum, a born-and-bred Neapolitan!

Ingredients

  • 150 milliliters Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1  Onion
  • 1 kilogram Tomato Passata
  • 1 Tablespoon Fine Sea Salt
  • 2 stalks Parsley, Chopped

Preparation

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, fry for about 3 minutes, and then remove garlic (this just adds a small amount of flavour).

Add onion and fry until soft, about 5 minutes. Pour in passata/blended chopped tomatoes and salt. Put the lid on saucepan, lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

When sauce is done, stir in fresh parsley and serve with pasta. It can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for about 1 week.
