Step 1

A around 1 tbsp of olive oil to a medium sized saucepan, once it starts to sizzle add chopped garlic and dried oregano. Fry for 30 seconds then add 1 tsp of balsamic vinegar and freshly chopped parsley and basil.

Step 2

Fry the herbs and garlic for another 30 seconds (this helps release all the delicious flavours from the herbs) then add a can of chopped tomatoes and add a pinch of salt.

Step 3

Add 2 tbsp of water to the empty tomato can, swirl to get as much leftover tomato as possible and add that to the sauce.

Step 4

Stir everything together, after 1 minute use a potato masher to crush the tomatoes and break them down as much as possible (it will still be a rustic style sauce and not completely smooth)

Step 5

Simmer for 7-8 minutes stirring occasionally, turn off the heat and check for seasoning.
