    Fry onions and garlic until soft, add tin of chopped tomatoes, optional oxo cube and tsp of sugar.

    For meatballs I make a Goulash Sauce just to ring the changes from Ragu Style Sauce.

    1 tbsp Paprika
    1 tbsp Flour
    1 Onion chopped
    1 Garlic clove Crushed
    2lb Tomatoes peeled and chopped or 2 400g tins of Chopped Tomatoes
    100ml Creme Fraiche or sieved HM Yoghurt
    1 tbsp Olive Oil
    1/2 Red Pepper finely chopped

    Heat the oil and cook onion and pepper for about 5 mins. Add garlic and cook for a further minute. Stir in paprika and flour, add tomatoes, season and simmer, stirring until cooked though and thickened.

    Add meatballs to heat through and swirl in Yoghurt/Creme Fraiche to serve. HTH

    As above without the oxo cube; but with a tsp sugar, parsley, bazil and oregano. Dried herbs work just fine.
