Ingredients

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 onion, finely diced

2 garlic cloves, finely diced

1 stick of celery, finely diced

150ml (1/4 pint dry white wine

2x400g (14oz) cans of chopped tomatoes

1 fresh bay leaf

1 tsp tomato puree

1 tbsp caster sugar

1 tbsp dried oregano

salt & freshly ground black pepper

4 plastic storage containers

OPTIONAL ADDITIONAL FLAVOURS

Dried chili flakes

Panchetta, fried until crispy

Directions

Heat a pan and add the oil, then stir in the onion, garlic and celery and cook for about 5 minutes until softened but not coloured, stirring occasionally.

Pour in the wine and allow to bubble away, then add the bay leaf, tomato puree, tomatoes, oregano, sugar and season to taste.

(at this stage you could also add cooked pancetta or chili flakes etc as desired).

Bring the sauce to a simmer, then simmer gently for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce is well reduced and thickened.

Remove from the heat and leave to cool a little.

When the sauce has cooled, discard the bay leaf and devide between the plastic containers.

Can be kept in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or freeze until required.
