Today's recipe is fresh and healthy and so simple It is just... It can make dozens of dishes

It is a perfect make-ahead healthy family solution and trust me if I can make it, I'm self-taught,

you definitely can. We're making a really simple tomato sauce today with basil and garlic and

the cool thing is it can be made in batches and then stored in your freezer until you

need it then with a few tweaks you can make like a variety of dishes like hundreds it

is so good you can toss it through cooked pasta to use as the main sauce or perhaps

even serve it alongside with cooked some meatballs oh my gosh that looks good or even make it

your new go-to pizza topping, other options include a homemade salad dressing or a salsa

the world really is your oyster or tomato in this case so hopefully you wanna give this

a go you're gonna need the following ingredients hit pause on the video now our recipe is actually

up on the jamieoliver.com website so you can check it out on there too lets get cracking

we start off by adding our pan onto our hob on a low flame and chucking in our olive oil

now earlier I chopped up some garlic cloves we;re just gonna push those straight in to

our pan as soon as they start to begin to colour what we'll do is add in some fresh

basil again this was a bunch that I had earlier and just tore it off in to little pieces but

add that in there and also our plum tomatoes get that all in there looking amazing whilst

that was warming through I was using my spatula to break down those plum tomatoes if you're

using a wooden spoon or even a potato masher do that just to squish up those plum tomatoes

a little bit give it a seasoning of salt and pepper and just keep until it reaches a simmer

looking amazing so yep as soon as it's come to the boil remove the pan from the heat and

we're gonna strain that sauce through a sieve in to a large mixing bowl now you can use

your spatula to push any large bits of tomato through and just get it all on there and make

sure you scrape the bottom of the sieve to get off any little chunks of tomato I actually

did this in batches because I found that it sort of spilled over if you did too much so

do it a little bit at a time until you're left with a really lovely tomato sauce discard

any leftover bits of basil and garlic then simply pour the sauce back in to the pan,

we're gonna bring that up to a boil and then let it simmer away for a good five minutes

to help concentrate the flavours it should be ready when it's the perfect consistency

for spreading on a pizza and if you're not using it straight away you can actually store

it in a jar in your fridge or what Idid was actually put it in some freezer bags put it

in there let it cool to room temperature and then stick it in your freezer until you need
