Equipment

What to do

    1. Prepare all of the ingredients based on the instructions in the ingredients list.

    2. Heat the oil in the frying pan and add garlic and a pinch of salt. Cook for 30 seconds.

    3. Add tomatoes, sugar and pepper.

    4. Cook for at least 10 minutes, and up to 30 minutes. The final cooking time depends on the time you have available and the type of flavour you want the sauce to have: less cooking results in a fresher flavour, while longer cooking results in a deeper, more intense flavour.
