Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 400 g chopped tomatoes (mine come straight from a can!)
• 1 onion
• 1 pepper (bell pepper/capsicum/whatever you want to call it!)
• 6 -8 medium mushrooms
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried herbs
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• salt and pepper
• olive oil (for frying)
• cheese, to serve

Recipe

• 1 chop onion, pepper and mushroom and fry over a medium heat in a saucepan until the pepper is soft.
• 2 add the tomato, herbs and paprika to the saucepan and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• 3 check the taste and add salt, pepper and/or more paprika if necessary.
• 4 leave to simmer for another 15-20 mins (continue stirring accasionally)- this is the perfect point to start cooking the pasta!
• 5 add garlic about 10 mins before serving - if it gets cooked for any longer it will lose its taste.
