My daughter loves pasta. This is a very simple, tomato sauce in the authentic Italian way. Buying ready tomato pasta sauce is so expensive and the next time you go to use its past the expiry date so all that goes into the bin. Making this sauce at home is so easy and quick. Try it without any preservatives its healthy and yummy.

5-6 Red ripe tomatoes - diced
1 Teaspoon Garlic - minced
1 Onion - finely chopped

1 Bay leaf

Method
Place the tomatoes in a pressure pan. Add the garlic, onion and bay leaf to it. Add water and then season with salt and sugar. Close the pressure pan and take 3 whistles, switch off the flame. Cool, remove the bay leaf, then puree it.
In a separate pan, heat oil, add chopped onions and chopped garlic saute for a minute. Add the tomato puree. Cook till its reduces to half. Add basil leaves or dried basil and keep aside. Tomato sauce is ready.
Boil the pasta water with salt, let it boil. Drain when done
Transfer in a serving dish and serve with the tomato sauce, top it with cheese and parboiled veggies, just dig into it and enjoy hmm m yum. The flavor of the sauce is so delicate, fresh and sweet that it needed nothing at all because I had it without cheese.
