Just made this and it went down a treat and some leftover for freezing too which is always a bonus. Tip a chef gave me years ago - when using tinned tomotoes add a little sugar helps bring out the tomato taste

Great recipe - and so simple. Have you got any others you can share?
Ingredients
- 3 Tinned Tomatoes
- 1 Stick Celery
- 2 Carrots
- 1 Leek
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- To taste Salt and Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
Method
- 1. You will need a saucepan with a lid.
- 2. Roughly chop all the vegetables and crush and peel the garlic.
- 3. Warm the Olive Oil over a medium heat and then add the vegetables. Cook for a couple of minutes. Stir regularly, do not let the veg colour.
- 4. Now add the three tins of tomatoes.
- 5. Stir well, bring to a simmer then place the lid on tightly and gently cook for 25 minutes.
- 6. The secret of this sauce is to gently cook the tomatoes for 25 minutes. Don't cut this time short, it will taste like tinned tomatoes rather than a rich pasta sauce.
- 7. Once cooked, blitz the contents, a hand blender is the best tool for this job. Make sure the consitency is smooth.
- 8. Once finished, add salt and pepper to taste.
- 9. The finished sauce can be frozen, or used as a base for any pasta dish.
- Once you have made this, you will always make it. Try adding oregano!

I cooked this for my 11 and 7 year old veg hating boys and didnt tell them about the vegs until they had polished it all off! They loved it, in fact we all did and not a 'yuk' to be heard! A lovely recipe and very easy to make.
