Oh boy is this great! I recommend you all to try this pasta sauce, I used chilli flakes (cant get red pepper flakes here) added a few mushrooms and used Italian herbs as I didnt have any fresh basil, only used 2 onions, and only 2 tins of 16 oz tomatoes. This is a new favourite, thanks for the flavour sensation!!
