Real pasta sauce

10 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 400 g chopped tomatoes (Mine come straight from a can!)
  • 1 onion
  • 1 pepper (bell pepper/capsicum/whatever you want to call it!)
  • 6 -8 medium mushrooms
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs
  • 12 teaspoon paprika
  • salt and pepper
  • olive oil (for frying)
  • cheese, to serve

Directions

  1. 1
    Chop onion, pepper and mushroom and fry over a medium heat in a saucepan until the pepper is soft.
  2. 2
    Add the tomato, herbs and paprika to the saucepan and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. 3
    Check the taste and add salt, pepper and/or more paprika if necessary.
  4. 4
    Leave to simmer for another 15-20 mins (continue stirring accasionally)- this is the perfect point to start cooking the pasta!
  5. 5
    Add garlic about 10 mins before serving - if it gets cooked for any longer it will lose its taste.
  6. 6
    serve with pasta and with cheese melted over the top.
