Step 1

Place the oil in a pan over a medium heat. When warm, add the garlic and fry until softened but not brown.

Step 2

Pour the can of plum tomatoes in the pan and use a masher or fork to crush them down.

Step 3

Add all the remaining ingredients, then simmer on a low heat for 20 minutes, or until the flavor has deepened and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 4

This sauce can be used straight away, or placed in an airtight container and stored in the fridge for up to a week, ready to be used as required.
