This is a no brainer Italian classic, simple and quick, that is full of great flavour-A very low fat and healthy option if you omit the bacon. Tastes great with garlic bread .mmm

  • 3 cloves of garlic diced finely
  • 2 tblsp olive oil
  • Half large glass of red wine
  • tblsp of chopped dried or fresh Oregano

  3. Add the tomatoes, puree and sugar, balsamic vinegar and turn down the heat-stir
