Chopped or Plum Tomatoes
4 x 400g
Olive Oil
30 ml
Finely Diced Garlic Cloves
5
Vegetable Stock or Water
240 ml
Brown Sugar
3 tsp
Sea Salt
1 tsp
Pepper
To Taste
1
Heat up olive oil in a large frying pan.
2
Add garlic and stir-fry on low-medium heat until it softens and becomes fragrant.
3
Add tinned tomatoes. If using plum tomatoes, squash them with a potato masher first.
4
Add stock or water (rinse out the tins with it to get all the tomato goodness).
5
Add 1 tsp of salt and chili, then simmer (without a lid) on low heat for 45-60 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes until the tomatoes break down and the sauce thickens.
6
Season the sauce with sugar (to neutralize the citric acid), pepper, and more salt if needed. You can also add more olive oil for richness.
7
If you prefer a smooth sauce, transfer it to a blender and blend until smooth. Otherwise, keep it chunky.
8
Mix the sauce into freshly cooked pasta.
