This sauce might be slow cooked, but in terms of the preparation involved it is most definitely a ‘quick’ sauce in my book! The slow cooker then does the rest of the work, drawing out all the sweetness in the tomatoes to make a fabulously rich sauce.

2 × 400g (14oz) tins chopped tomatoes

1 small onion, peeled and diced

2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed

4 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to taste

A large pinch of dried oregano

A small pinch of dried basil

A pinch of cayenne pepper

½ tsp sea salt

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, to serve

Place the tomatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil, herbs, cayenne pepper and salt into the slow cooker dish. Cover with the lid and cook for 10–15 hours or until thick and rich.

Season to taste with more salt and pepper and olive oil. And that’s it! Spoon over hot pasta with plenty of grated Parmesan cheese to serve.
