Top tips:

  • Use canned tomatoes with added herbs or garlic for a flavour change.
  • Control the hob temperature to ensure the sauce does not stick or too much liquid evaporates.
  • Use fresh peas or other vegetables when they are in season.
  • Try other spices such as chilli powder for seasoning.
