Tomato sauce

Method

1. In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil and fry the garlic and onion for 5 minutes until soft, then stir in the oregano. Add the tomatoes and red wine, then season well. If you don’t have wine to hand, you can use the same amount of water or stock instead. This will work just as well, although the red wine gives a richer colour and flavour to the sauce.
2. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for 20 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally. Season to taste and serve with pasta for a quick midweek supper.
