HOMEMADE
TOMATO PASTA
SAUCE
Makes: A batch
Ingredients
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
½ tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 red onion
5 to 6 cloves of garlic
20 (approximately) roma tomatoes
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
Method
• Finely chop the onion and garlic.
• Heat the oil in a saucepan over low heat
and gently sauté the onion and garlic.
• Dice the tomatoes and gradually add
them to the saucepan with the onions
and garlic.
• Sprinkle over the dried basil and
oregano, cover and gently simmer for
10 to 15 minutes.
• Uncover and simmer for a further five
minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and
allow it to cool for a good 10 to 15
minutes.
• Using a stick mixer, blend the tomato
sauce to your preferred consistency. We
like it a little lumpy.
• Serve it with freshly cooked high fibre
or wholemeal pasta, meatballs,
Parmesan and steamed vegetables.
Enjoy!
here’s something really satisfying about making food from
scratch. In a world of jars and packets many of us wouldn’t know
how to cook some of the most basic dishes. Never fear, if you’re
interested in learning to cook your food from scratch and have
more control over what your family eats, then this is a great
recipe to start the process off. It’s a super simple recipe and
just an easy, nutritious and really great alternative to the old
store-bought variety that is typically full of additives.
