Mixed herbs, garlic powder, onion and mushrooms. Simple and delicious!

I love dried oregano. Or fresh basil torn up into it just before serving - yummy. Basil is my fav herb!

I make my own bol sauce. I looked on the ingredients to ragu as it's my fav, & made my own

1 Onion (chopped)
1-2 cloves of garlic (crushed)
2 tins of tomatoes
1 carton/jar of passata
juice of 1 lemon
1-2 tsp sweetener
good pinch of salt
1-2 tsp of dried oragano
veg oxo
pinch of pepper


Fry the onion & garlic in fry light, when the onions start to stick add the lemon juice & sweetener (if it sticks further add a little water). Add oragano, salt, pepper & oxo. Once the onion is soft add tomatoes & passata & simmer for 1/2 an hour. Leave to cool then whizz up in the blender.
Can be used as a pasta sauce, pitta pizza sauce or lasagne

My basic tomato sauce recipe, ready in the time it takes to cook the pasta.

A can of good quality chopped tomatoes (or passata works too), one bovril stock cube, splash of soy sauce, splash of worcestshire sauce, pinch of sweetener, and sprinkle of schwartz garlic italian seasoning. Bring to boil, reduce the heat and simmer until you are ready to serve. Season to taste.


The basic recipe can be adapted as well

• add chilli for something a bit spicy
• add chilli and kidney beans for a quick chilli
• add philadelphia garlic and herb for a creamy version or
• add a glug of red wine and balsalmic vinegar for a bit of extra oomph
