Tomato Sauce

Ingredients
1kg Ripe Tomatoes (or 2 400g cans chopped peeled tomatoes)
2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Cloves Garlic (chopped)
1 Handful Basil (roughly chopped)
1 Lemon (zested)
Pinch of Sugar
Salt and Pepper

Equipment
1 Large Pan
1 Wooden Spoon
1 Zester

The Good Bit
  1. Place all the ingredients in a pan and bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Remove the lid from the pan and simmer for a further 20mins (10mins if you used canned tomatoes) to thicken the sauce, taste and season.
