Ingredients

For the red sauce (makes about 200 g):
2 medium tomatoes
2 dried red chillies
1 tablespoon oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
¼ teaspoon sugar
Salt and mixed herbs to taste
To assemble one serving:
100 g red sauce (from above)
5 g Power Sprinkle
50 g boiled pasta

Method

Boil the tomatoes with the dried red chillies until the tomato skins split, about 5–7 minutes.
Drain, slip off the tomato peels, and blend the tomatoes and softened chillies to a smooth purée.
Heat the oil and sauté the garlic and onion until soft and translucent.
Add the purée, salt and herbs. Cook on medium flame 8–10 minutes until thickened and the raw smell disappears.
Stir in the sugar. Beyond balancing the tang, this softens the acidity, which keeps the sauce smooth in the next step. You now have about 200 g of sauce.
Turn off the heat and let it stand a minute or two until warm rather than bubbling.
Weigh out 100 g of the sauce and stir the 5 g Power Sprinkle through until evenly mixed.
Fold the 50 g boiled pasta through and serve within a couple of minutes.
