jamie oliver pasta sauce...

carlamagee

i am totally in love with this sauce - the tomato and chilli one. I bought it when on offer in tesco for only 80p about 3 months ago(maybe more), but is usually £1.79 per jar. i really cant convince myself that this is an ok amount to spend for a pasta sauce. (anyone else with me!?) i tried the Lloyd Grossman jar that wason offer lats week, but its not the same, quite watery and oily in comparison.

so my real question is, does anyone here know how i could start to make it for myself instead of buying it? im not very good at making things up on my own, but can follow instructions!!

if this is in the wrong thread, sorry, not sure where to post: feel free to move!!

Hi Carla. I saw this on the Cheapest Healthy Meal Ever thread but I don't know how to link to it so I've cut and paste it instead! Lou


This is a useful one which tastes divine and more expensive than it is. You will need:
2 tins of plum tomatoes
olive oil
pinch sugar
pinch salt
any herbs you have
pasta

Pour some olive oil in a roasting dish (according to taste - from about 3 tbsp to as much as you like). Take out the toms with a spoon, reserving juice and place them carefully in dish. Sprinkle with salt, sugar and herbs (Ive got some rosemary in the garden so I just chuck a bit of that in) oh and a couple of garlic cloves if you have them in. Then roast on about GM 7 for 30 mins. You can turn them if you wish. The roasting caramelises them a bit and really intensifies the flavour. I was giving this to my 3 year old so I blended and seived before I added the rest of the juice from the tin. I gave him his with spaghetti and a couple of lumps of frozen spinach (microwaved) with a bit of grated cheese on. I chucked some olives in mine which had been in the fridge for about 6 months. This is a really lovely pasta sauce which freezes well too. V cheap and cheerful, easy and no need to go out in the peeing rain.

Hi carla,

You can find Jamie Oliver's tomato sauce recipe is on his website You could add chilli to it to make it spicier.
