25/5/2014 0 Comments Easy as tomato sauce for pasta.skill rating: easy mood rating: motivated Time: about 10 min and that how long most pasta takes to cook 1 Onion diced (a smallish one - not a massive one) 1 -2 cloves garlic crushed can of tomatoes 1 teaspoon sugar salt to taste any herbs you have on hand (I always have those ones you buy in the pots, but they die on you really quickly, so you can use them up in this before you chuck them) or use about 1/2 tsp dried herbs - oregano, thyme or majoram would be good ones oil Fry onion and garlic in oil until transparent (about 5 min on med) Add caned tomatoes mush up and simmer 10 min until thick Stir in sugar and salt, add herbs to taste stir in a tablespoon or two of olive oil if you have some in your cupboard. Serve over pasta. If you want you could put some ham or salami in. Or add some red wine that has been open too long. Grate cheese on top if you want. If you want to hide veges grate some zucchini and carrot in. It is heaps cheaper than buying a jar, and flasher.

If you are preparing, mix some curry paste or powder (about 2 teaspoons) with some yoghurt (a small pot) and put your diced meat in it to marinate. If you're starting at 5.30pm no stress. Put some oil in a pan, heat up, and your meat (and curry if you haven't marinated) and push around a bit. (if you did marinate, scrape the whole thing in). Once it smells fragrant add a can of tomatoes Add diced (about 1 to 1.5cm) potato, pumpkin or kumara. (put rice on now ) simmer 15 min Add other vegetable and simmer 5 min.
