Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 2 tins Plum tomatoes
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped finely
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Dry white wine
  • 1/2 tsp Dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Crushed chilli flakes
  • 1/2 tsp Dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp Fresh basil. chopped (optional, but worth it)
  • Seasoning

Instructions

  1. In a large frying pan, or heavy based saucepan, put the garlic onions and oil on a medium heat.

    Once the onions are translucent (and your kitchen smells amazing) add the dried herbs and cook for a further two minutes. 

    Add the wine and cook until it's almost all evaporated.

    In a bowl, pour out the tomatoes. Crush them in your hands until you get a good mixture of chunks and smooth bits. Personally, I prefer this to tinned chopped tomatoes. 

    Add the tomatoes to the pan and cook until most of the moisture has gone. season to taste, and add the shredded basil right at the end, to keep that fresh herb flavour.
