2 x 400-gram tins crushed tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, crushed
700-gram jar tomato passata 2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon caster sugar
½ teaspoon chilli flakes
sea salt and ground pepper
METHOD
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over a low heat and cook the garlic, tomato paste and chilli for 2 minutes.
Increase the heat and add the tomatoes, passata and sugar, season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 30 minutes or until reduced and thick, stirring occasionally to prevent it sticking on the base of the saucepan. Taste and check the seasoning.
