This was one of the first things I ever cooked, and at uni it probably formed a quarter of my diet largely due to the simplicity of cooking and the low cost of ingredients.
Ingredients
1/2 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
Couple of mushrooms, sliced
1 tin chopped tomatoes
Paprika, basil, thyme, oregano - as much as you like
Ketchup
Salt and pepper
* heat a little oil in a pan and fry the onion, garlic and mushroom for a minute or so.
* Add the tomatoes and a good squirt of ketchup or tomato puree
* Add herbs and seasoning.
* simmer for around 20 minutes
This is a really versatile recipe and forms the basis of a lot of my meals including lasagna, chilli, spag bol etc. It's great just as it is with pasta or can easily be made meaty by adding a tin of tuna or some bacon.
