Makes 350ml

Preparation time: 5 minutes 
Cooking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients
1 onion, finely chopped 
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 
½ tsp chilli flakes 
2 tbsp tomato purée  
400g tin of chopped or pulped tomatoes 
Salt and pepper 
1 tsp mixed herbs or mixed Italian herbs, lightly crushed between your fingers 
1-2 tsps sugar  

Method
Put 1 tbsp of olive oil into a small saucepan. Add the onion and cook on a medium heat until it is translucent, 5-7 minutes. 

Then add the garlic and cook for another few minutes.  I LOVE garlic but if you don’t then just put in 1 clove. 

Add the chilli flakes and tomato purée, stir and cook for a few minutes. 

Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, sugar and crushed mixed herbs and cook for 20-30 mins until reduced and thicker.
