Things that taste better when .....

If anyone knows of a way cooking a tomato sauce for pasta which can also be freezed, I would be very grateful.

I get it to the right density when cooking with mince beef, but I am a part time vegetarian and so I would like to find a way of getting the right density without beef. Whenever I've tried it without beef I can't get it to the right density and the tomato flavour is too rich (I know what I have just written, but there is something in mince beef that blends well with tomato).

All the sauces available in the stores are disgusting like BlueBearBoots has pointed out.

You need to add lots of water and then simmer it for a long time, tea spoon of sugar too

That's what I tried on one occasion but it made no difference and became a soup!

Thank you though, as you have confirmed that I need to cook it longer. I cook spaghetti bolognese for about 30 to 40 mins and have only ever done the same amount of time for just the tomato version.

I've had my spag Bol on the go for 2 hours, all the flavours need to blend. Do you use tinned tomatoes? I find they work best tbf then I add herbs and spices and stock I use chicken but if you are veggie use a veggie one but no salt cos I find stock cubes really salty

I only use Plum tomatoes , and reduce for an hour , try a tablespoon of Molasses / brown sugar . I prefer to use Pesto instead of tom. puree , Aldi`s is top .

Kebabs Burgers ,and Chilli ,spag bol . dont eat anything made of minced meat when out .
