Very simple pasta and tomato sauce...

This is my favourite comfort food ever! I always depend on this recipe when I  have to make my own dinner. It is incredibly easy and healthy, great with a load of cheese on top!.... So lets go back to basics and  make pasta and tomato sauce :) This recipe makes enough for one hungry person or two  not so hungry people.

You need:
One onion
two cloves of garlic
a knob of butter
350g of chopped/tinned tomatoes
salt and pepper
Basil and any other herbs you fancy
a heaped teaspoon of pesto
Dried pasta (however much you want to eat, I always guess )

Here we gooo....

Cut up a small onion and put it into a pan with some butter. Cook it until until it softens. Then add about two cloves of garlic and cook for a little longer. 

 Leave the heat on and add about 350g of chopped tomatoes 

 Season with a little salt and pepper 

Add some herbs, I used fresh basil, rosemary and lemon thyme. I also used dry thyme for a bit more thyminess.

Stir in some pesto (this is optional) 

Lower the heat and pop the lid on while you cook the pasta 

Measure out a good amount of pasta and add it to some boiling, salty water. 

Boil the pasta for about ten minutes, then drain it in a colander.

Take the sauce off the heat and give it a good old whizz

Add the sauce to the pasta and top with black pepper,basil and grated cheddar

mmmmm............

Done 

Ps.. sorry about the rubbish camera quality, think of the picture as cute and retro....
