Tasty tomato sauce!!

I have to confess.... I have developed quite an addiction to Pinterest! Teamed with my love of cooking and experimenting and my health eating through slimming world I have been browsing the pages of Pinterest to find lots of slimming world recipes.

One I found last week was this tomato sauce! When I make pasta or spag Bol I usually either use passata which is free or dolmio which obviously you have to syn. On browsing Pinterest last week I came across a tomato sauce which sounded really nice. Basically what you do is roasted your own tomatoes, carrots, onions and garlic on a baking tray with some fry light and then blitz them in a blender or I used a hand whisk. I did add a bit of veg stock (1 veg stock cube with half a mug of hot water) to give it some liquid to blend better but i think you could omit this if you used a blender - you would have to see how thick it was. For an added extra I also added some peppers to roast as well just to give it that extra flavour!!


 

This is SO tasty! It has a lovely flavour and makes a difference that just passata and is so much better than having to syn dolmio sauce! You can obviously adjust the flavour to how you like and add or take bits out! Like I say I added some pepper but you could whack in anything you love for a bit of flavour.
I tried this last week with pasta and last night with spag Bol and it was beautiful with both!

Defiantly worth a try! Have you tried any recipes inspired by Pinterest???
