Rich tomato pasta sauce

I started using this recipe started as an accompaniment to meatballs, but it is so delicious and versatile that I use it as a base for all my Italian cooking. Can be used in lasagne, with meat dishes, or just on its own with pasta.

Ingredient

Cooking time :

2 hours 15 mins

2 boxes

tomato passata (1kg)

medium/large onions

5 cloves

garlic

sundried tomatoes (from a jar in oil)

1 bottle

red wine (75cl)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Peel the garlic cloves and the onions. Roughly chop and add to a food processor. Blitz until finely chopped

* Step 2

Add the onion/garlic mix to a pan, add some oil from the frying oil, and pour in some oil from the sun-dried tomato jar for extra flavour. Fry the mixture with a lid on the pan for ten minutes.

* Step 3

When the mixture is soft, finely chop and add the sun-dried tomatoes. Add the dried wild mushrooms if using.

* Step 4

Pour in the passata and the wine. Add the herbs, a teaspoon of each of you are using dried, or a good pinch of each if using fresh. Season with salt and pepper.

* Step 5

Stir well, and put a lid on the pan with a corner open to reduce the liquid slightly. Simmer gently for two hours, making sure that you stir regularly.
