Instructions
- Put a deep frying pan on medium heat, add the olive oil
- Finely chop the onion and garlic, add to the pan and fry for 5 minutes without too much stirring (the heat helps the onion gain flavour) until it is glassy looking
- Now add the dash of red wine and bring shortly to the boil for a minute
- Add the tomatoes and reduce heat back to medium
- Add your salt, pepper and oregano, stir and let the mixture cook for another 5 minutes
- Reduce heat and let the sauce simmer
- Put a pot of salted water on to boil for the pasta
- Cook the pasta as directed on the packaging, drain and mix in the tomato sauce with the fresh basil leaves (tear them if too big)
- Serve in bowls and sprinkle the grated cheese over the bowl
Enjoy!
