Tomato Sauce

Notes

• Use fresh spices and herbs for a better taste
• You can skip the sugar if you simmer the sauce for long enough
• If you use olive oil as the base make sure it doesn’t burn when cooking the tomato paste
• If you use whole tomatoes you will need to simmer longer, and chop them first
