spaghetti sauce

[vitzy82]

Hi all, wondered if anyone had a nice recipe for this? all the ones i have tried to far seem a bit bland. I am fancying spaghetti at the end of the week but all the basic recipes ive tried seem a bit tasteless!

I add mixed herbs and a spag bol oxo,some garlic,onions,chilli and to concentrate the tomato flavour you could add some tom puree

Sounds good, didn't know oxo did spaghetti cubes - will look them up!

My basic tomato sauce

Can of good quality chopped tomatoes, splash worcestershire sauce, splash soy sauce, oxo cube, pinch of sugaror sweetener and sprinkling of schwartz garlic italian seasoning. Bring to the boil and simmer while your pasta is cooking.

Lots of ways to change it up:
chilli for a piccante sauce
phillie cheese for a creamy tomato sauce
red wine for a bit of a kick
