Gently sweat onion and garlic. Add salt, pepper and a little chilli powder. Then add a tin of chopped tomatoes. Simmer until a nice thick sauce forms. Finally add basil. That's a basic tomato sauce, you can add things to it and use this as the sauce topping for pizzas too.
I like a hot sauce, so I use a tin of tomatoes and fresh tomatoes if I have some. I add onion, red pepper, garlic or garlic paste, and any other veg.such as celery or mushrooms. I then season with Cayenne pepper. I eat it with grated cheese on top. Lovely.
