Here my pizzazz tip - add olives.

OH MY GOD I FORGOT THE OLIVES.

I actually did lol... we had some too.. if we don't, I add capers!

I stir fry chopped garlic and onion in olive oil then add canned tomatoes, puree and ketchup 🤗 and water 😂 and let it simmer for at least half an hour. I don't have most of the other ingredients you mentioned, maybe I need to stock up...

It does add richness and layers of flavour! Promise! And the other ingredients are very versatile too! Xx

The black pepper at the end over the top 😍 this is so amazing. Reminds me of a date when i was younger of picking cherry tomatoes from the garden of a daughter of two english teachers when i was stranded busking in the swiss capital. The red wine in the sauce was epic. Best tomato sauce i ever had. Your recipe looks so yummy. Dreaming of a natural medicine bring a salad party. So have to try this recipe.

It's very easy really.
A dash of this and a dash of that! I used to teach my son to add a dash by saying.. just a SPLOODGE. A made up word to make him laugh..now he tells his girl to add a sploodge because he uses it as internal cooking measurement. 🤣🤣🤣

You have the best stories. Oh a pot luck Nat Med party woupd be epic...! You bring the squeeze....x

Pasta was one of the first things I learned how to cook, too. Though I think I started out with boxed macaroni and cheese and worked my way up! It really is amazing how if you have just a few key ingredients you can turn a simple red sauce into something totally divine. Your method sounds fantastic. I don't think I've made a red pesto, but now I totally want to. Mushroom and leek pasta is on tap for the week, but might have to stick with the green pesto this week since as usual I bought way too many of the delicious fresh greens from the market and need to use them up, haha!

Sounds good... kale pesto is awesome too. It makes the basil go further too. Yum... I love steamed leeks with a passion!!! Looks like I might have to make a red pesto for FVM! Really... it's roast red capsicum blended with usual pesto ingredients. Pesto actually means to pound and crush... but we always think of it as basil sauce!

Well my breath is stinky, but my leek and arugula/rocket pesto past turned out delicious, haha. Probably half in part to the leeks and half to the raw garlic I used in the pesto. Oh well, luckily no clients tonight to breath on! 🤣

Oh YUM! That sounds so fabulous.

First, release the flavour beasts. Heat olive oil and fry an onion (Spanish red onion is nice) and garlic, or shallots for a minute or two. Then, you can add (and this is optional) one tbsp of Spanish smoke paprika and a pinch of chilli and fry for a minute. Add your can of tomatoes and bring to slow simmer.

Ha ha. I absolutely agree. you must layer those flavors, and it all starts with some garlic and olive oil.

I really want your recipe for red pesto. I had never even heard of it! Thanks for sharing this, @riverflows!

THANKS!!!!! No worries. I had a chef lover once who blew my 17 year old mind (yep, I know!) by telling me pesto mean to pound or crush. So anything can be pesto. Revelatory... Just roast/pan fry a red capsicum and add lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and choice of nuts! You could also try a blend of sundries tomatoes (or home oven sundries) and capsicum (pepper).

Ah, interesting! So you could even have a balsamic raspberry pesto. Or a chocolate almond pesto. Or a garlic and black bean pesto! Now I’m hungry. 😆

Wow, that's quite the craft you've developed! Never tried putting wine on this, now I can't wait to try it out :o

I don't cook but my wife does so I am definitely going to show her your recipe. We love tomatoes and anything that has tomatoes in it. Thanks for sharing this. I already can taste it!

@trucklife-family here, You are such an amazing cook, your recipes always have me salivating. I like to make my tomato sauce with a little tamari added and also with spinach. Some times I just blended all my ingredients raw and add it to the cooked pasta and that works great as well, oh and a little bit of yeast flakes at times too.
