A basic Italian-style tomato sauce that's absolute child's play to make and tastes wonderful. Can be altered easily. I usually end up using tabasco instead of chilli, fresh tomatoes in summer, and a handful of black olives if I have them in the fridge. It's also good with balsamic vinegar instead of red wine, if you have one instead of the other as I do.

I keep this chunky for pasta, or give it a whizz with a stick blender for pizza. It freezes really well, which is a bonus as one batch produces quite a lot of rich, delicious sauce.

Every cookery book gives a recipe for tomato sauce, but this is the one I always use to spread over a pizza base before adding the other ingredients. The combination of tomato, olive oil, chilli, basil, garlic and oregano is perfect for the purpose, and I can avoid the sugar and salt so often added to commercial versions.
