½ onion (6p)
1 clove of garlic (60p/packet of 2 garlic bulbs)

Olive oil
What to do:
- Place the pasta in a saucepan of boiling water - it should take 10 - 15mins to cook.
- While the pasta is cooking make the sauce by finely chopping the onion and garlic. Heat up a small amount of olive oil in a pan and then add the onion and garlic. Fry for a couple of minutes until the onion starts to brown and go soft.
- Then add the tin of chopped tomatoes and heat - DON’T allow the sauce to boil. After 5 mins sprinkle in a pinch of mixed herbs and then continue to heat at a low temperature until the pasta is cooked.
- Drain the water from the pasta and then add the sauce. Mix together and then it’s ready to eat.
- You may want to sprinkle some grated cheese on once it is on your plate.
