Ingredients

2 cloves of garlic
Olive oil
1 x 400 g tin of good quality plum tomatoes
Optional: extra virgin olive oil

Method

1

Peel and finely slice the garlic, then place in a non-stick frying pan on a medium heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir regularly until lightly golden.

2

Pour in the tomatoes, either scrunching them through your hands, or breaking them up with a wooden spoon. Let it simmer on a low heat until your pasta is cooked.

3

Use tongs to drag the pasta straight into the sauce, letting a little starchy cooking water go with it.

4

Toss well over the heat, then serve. I like to finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
