  • 20g olive oil

Instructions

Sauce

Passata

Notes

  • Tomato Sauce can be frozen. I divide this in to two portions and freeze one. Simply thaw before using.
  • Passata will keep for up to 7 days in the fridge or freeze.
  • The trick to keeping this sauce nice and red is using fresh, in season tomatoes. Sauces turn orange when using tomatoes not in season (Thank you MasterChef for that tip!).
