Tips

Test the sauce to your taste; if it tastes bland, add more garlic, salt or pepper.

Mixed herbs added to the sauce bring a whole new depth to your dish! Yum!

Reduce your washing up by cooking all ingredients in turn in one saucepan, apart from the pasta!

If your sauce is lumpy, try using a whisk and briskly stirring.

Left over sauce can be contained in a glass jar, refrigerated and reheated another time!
