Homemade tomato sauce of course

Onions, garlic and tinned tomatoes cooked slowly in olive oil are basic. If I'm feeling energetic I blitz carrots, celery, red peppers with the onions and garlic. Sauteé this mush in oil then add the toms. Oregano, a bit of chili, salt and pepper complete the sauce.

For really lazy nights I use a carton of passata

I just mix tomato puree from the tube with some crushed garlic and some dried herbs. Everytime I'm tried something else the base gets squishy and as I don't actually like tomatoes very much at all, they are really just there as a gesture.

When I fancy a change I roast equal amounts of tomatoes and red peppers with a little garlic until soft. Peel pepper skins and blitz the lot with some seasoning. Takes on a nice red pepper taste.

I do a similar sauce to Thriftlady but add a teaspoon of sugar and a tablespoon of tomato puree.

I'm not a tomato fan either and I did it this way but found the sauce really really bland. I make a batch lot of tomatoe sauce (tinned plum tomatos, olive oil, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, tomato puree with beef, left to simmer for hours on end) and I thought I might just cook a small amount even longer to thicken it up for a pizza sauce.

I had a friend who didn't like pizza sauce and alwasy used to order white pizza. This is pizza base covered in garlic butter and topped with cheese and the usual veg.

I'm afraid its not very OS and I am very lazy but I use Asda jarred original bolognaise sauce - its a bit !!!!!! and spicy and just the right consistency to spread without bread going soggy. We use maybe half a jar for all of us (4) and then use the rest on pasta the next night. From memory its about 70p a jar though maybe its more?

Mine is very simple and from Campania - not quite Neapolitan but not far off. Fresh, home grown tomatoes in the summer are best but at this time of I drain a couple of tins of GOOD quality tomatoes, chopped, (Value wont do) then add 1 or 2 chopped garlic cloves, heaped teaspoon of oregano, handful of parmesan and generous glug of olive oil. Salt and pepper. Leave to infuse while dough rises, then add some chopped basil before using.
