Name of recipe: "From the Pantry" Tomato Pasta Sauce
Number of People: 2-3
Ingredients:
4 garlic cloves (we LOVE garlic, reduce to 2 if you prefer)
1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
1 onion, quartered
20g EVOO
1 440g can diced tomatoes
1 tsp salt
1 tbs brown sugar
Preparation:
Put the garlic, chilli and onion into the TM bowl, and chop for 5 secs/speed 5. Add the olive oil and cook for 5 mins/Varoma/speed 1.
Add the tomatoes, salt and sugar, and cook for 20 mins/Varoma/speed 3. Spoon over pasta.
Tips/Hints:
If you are making gnocchi, you can steam the potatoes for in the Varoma while the sauce is cooking. Add half a can of water with the tomatoes, and increase the cooking time to 25 mins. Place the sauce in the Thermoserver while you continue preparing the gnocchi. If the sauce is too thick by the time you've finished boiling the gnocchi, add a little of the pasta water to loosen it up.

alioc do u think there is a need for the brown sugar ?
-
I find that it rounds out the tomato flavour by mellowing out the acidity, but you could leave it out if you prefer. Let me know how it turns out!

Sounds good to me. I put a touch of golden syrup and a little cinnamon in my Bol sauce.

A great recipe when we need it in a hurry. I like that it uses things we would have in the pantry.

How much pasta do you need?

Cabban I would cook up whatever you usually do for the family and put the sauce over that. There are 3 of us and I do about 200 g if that is any help.

Really? Gosh. You probably have more pasta than sauce, which we should do too.
