  I added an extra tsp of sugar to sweeten it a little more. The sauce was so easy to make and tasted great! Will now be my staple tomato sauce recipe!

  This was a great recipe but I'm not sure I'd add the sugar next time as it tasted a little too sweet for me - but I'd definitely make it again

  Really tasty sauce, i added an extra clove of garlic and grated my carrots so the sauce would be smoother. I also switched the water for red wine!!

  Really fantastic recipe, I added a tbsp of balsamic vinegar to mine and replaced one of the tins of tomatoes with halved cherry tomatoes and also added some chilli. Great arrabiata base!

  Tried this last week and loved it - finding lots more dishes I can use it in now! I tried it in the Bean and Sausage Hotpot in the "Goes well with..." and it did!

  Great home-made taste for this tomato sauce. I left out the sugar and it was still tasty.

  Love this sauce.........it's now my basic tomato sauce. I've used it to make the bean and sausage hotpot, which the whole family enjoyed. I also use it when I'm making meatballs and spaghetti. I always freeze some when I make it, so I have an instant supper when I can't be bothered to cook after a hard day at work. I might try it with added chillies next time for an added kick with pasta.
