Simple Tomato and Onion Pasta
Method
- Finely chop the onion.
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook gently for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Pour in the tinned tomatoes. Use the empty tomato tin to add about half a tin of water to the sauce. Stir well.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Season with salt and Black Pepper.
- While the sauce is cooking, boil a separate pan of salted water for the pasta. Add the pasta and cook according to packet instructions until al dente.
- Drain the pasta and serve immediately with the tomato and onion sauce.
Letting the sauce simmer a lot longer makes it taste richer. And you can add meat, herbs and cheese to make it less plain
