Secret, this was really good. I make a similar recipe, but I think yours is more balanced in flavours! I adjusted and made this for 4, and because I hate waste, put all of a 415g can of tomatoes-a good move, as I love saucy dishes! Also cut the chilli a little as our present batch is very hot. One of the great things about this recipe was the fact that I had ALL the ingredients on hand.

MMM this was yummy! I carmelized a whole onion and used canned tomatoes then added everything to the food processor to smooth it all out so the guys cant see whats in it. I will be making this again and again. Thank you Secret!

Yum! I will definitely add this to my collection! I used pancetta, added 3 cloves of garlic, chopped up 2 roma tomatoes, only added 1/2 tsp chilli flakes, and a little more basil for my tastes. Loved it!
