One of our favourite family meals has to be pasta! We all love it so much. We are quite happy just having plain pasta topped with cheese for a quick meal but on the days we need a sauce this tomato sauce is a saviour. It is super easy to make! You can also add pretty much anything to it if you wish – tuna, chicken, mince etc.

In a pan pour out the passata and add all the rest of the ingredients and heat through thoroughly for about 5-8 minutes. Once heated through, you can add any chicken/tuna/veg you may be using and cook till it is done. And that is it! How simple is that?
