Instructions
 

  • Finely mince 1 shallot and 3 cloves of garlic.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, heavily salt and add 1 lb of pasta of your choice.
  • In a separate pan over medium heat, add 1 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp olive oil. Let this heat up and then add the minced shallot and garlic. Sautée for 2 minutes until softened but don’t brown.
  • Add a can of good quality whole peeled tomatoes. Season with salt, stir, and let these cook for a few minutes. Smash the tomatoes with a fork so the sauce comes together. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
