Sun Dried Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce
This is a nice, simple pasta sauce that is pretty easy to whip up. Molly needed to cook dinner for Food Tech and this was one of the recipes we came up with. We needed a dairy free pasta sauce to add to her repertoire. The sun dried tomatoes add a real depth. We then grated Violife Parmesan on top!

Ingredients
- 1 tin chopped plum tomatoes

- 4 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 4 tablespoons chopped sun dried tomatoes
Directions
- Step 1
- Boil a kettle full of water, put the fresh tomatoes in a bowl and cover them with the boiling water. Wait 3 minutes and poke with a sharp knife. The skin should ripple away. Drain and peel the tomatoes. Roughly chop them up. Put to one side
- Step 2
- Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a fry pan and add the onions. Fry until just translucent

- Step 6

Like most sauces the flavours develop over time so if you can, its better left to cool, then reheated til piping hot.
