Pasta Sauce Recipe

I've been making this pasta sauce recently and I'm loving it because it's low fat, quick to make and gives you a few servings for the week.

The trick I use is to make it in a Teflon saucepan, that way I can avoid using any oil. If you don't have a Teflon saucepan, I recommend you get one because it's non-stick and you can eliminate oil from your cooking. If you don't, then just put a drop of Olive Oil in.

Ingredients

1 onion finely chopped (I like to use red onions)
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
400g tin of chopped tomatoes
Paprika
Oregano or other Italian Herbs

Method

Dead easy, just brown the onions and garlic in your saucepan until their soft (about 3-5 mins on a medium heat), then add the tomatoes and simmer on a low heat for about 20 mins. Add the oregano and paprika to taste.

It's great because you get about 3-4 servings out of it and I think it's better than buying processed sauces. Put some meat or vegetables in, whack in some wholemeal pasta and you've got yourself a good, healthy meal.
