Recipe by Australia's best

Ingredients​

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 brown onions, diced
• 6 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 sprigs fresh oregano or handful basil leaves
• 2 x 800g tins diced tomatoes
• 2 x 700g jars tomato passata
• ( available in all supermarkets including Aldi)
• 1 tbsp caster sugar
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinega

Method​

1. Heat oil in an extra large saucepan or stock pot. Cook onions for 8 minutes until very soft. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for another 2 minutes.
2. Stir through oregano or basil, then pour in tomatoes and passata.
3. Stir through sugar and balsamic and season very well with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, stirring regularly to ensure it isn’t catching on the bottom.
4. Check for seasoning and add more salt, pepper or sugar if required.
5. Pour into glass or plastic containers in portions for freezing.

NOTES​

Defrost and reheat in the microwave or a saucepan ready to stir through any cooked pasta - it’s extra delicious with a splash of cream stirred through the sauce. You can also use as the sauce base for meatballs, a vegetable lasagne or even nachos.

Perfect over some cooked pasta and frozen for teenagers. Much better than those cup noodles full of salt.
