- Serves: 2
- Preparation: 10 minutes
- Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp oil.
- 1 onion, finely chopped.
- 3 oz Cheese (of your choice).
- 2 medium sized Eggs (for added flavor try Duck Eggs).
- 3 large chopped up Mushrooms.
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped.
- 1 tin of chopped tomatoes.
- 2 tbsp tomato purée.
- a pinch of mixed dried herbs.
- pepper to taste.
- 210g uncooked pasta.
Cooking:
1. Heat the oil in a saucepan or frying pan. Cook the onion on a medium heat until it's soft.
2. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Make sure the pan is not too hot when you add the garlic, as it burns easily. Burnt garlic will make the sauce taste bitter.
3. Add the tin of chopped tomatoes, tomato purée and mixed herbs along with the cheese and mushrooms
4. Crack both eggs into a microwavable cup and place in the microwave till just about cooked,
5. Simmer gently for 15 minutes until the sauce is thick and rich, at this stage you add the egg(don't worry if your egg doesn't look fully cooked, it'll cook in the sauce).
6. Add pepper to taste.
7. Cook the pasta according to packet instructions and serve topped with fresh herbs.
Other options
Add a tin of tuna or some sliced vegetables to the sauce at step three. Try peppers or courgettes.
Use the sauce as a pizza topping. Just sprinkle with grated cheese and your favourite vegetables.
Pour the sauce over fish fillets and bake in the oven at 180°C or gas mark 4 for 15-20 minutes.
