2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 cloves fresh garlic finely chopped or minced See notes below
2 canned tomatoes 2 x 400 grams each Puree in a food processor if you want a smooth sauce
1 Tbsp. Tomato paste
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup red wine
1 cup water - one and a half cups if not using wine.
1 teaspoon salt and pepper
fresh basil leaves to garnish

Heat the oil in a large non stick pan.
Add the garlic and cook for about a minute just for it to soften.
Add the tomatoes, salt & pepper, pasta spice and tomato paste. Stir and cook for 10 minutes on medium heat.
Add half the water and all the red wine, drop down to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes stirring occasionally. If it needs a little water add about a quarter cup.
Add the remaining water and continue to simmer for another 20 minutes or until you're happy with the thickness.
5 minutes before, taste for seasoning, add fresh basil and serve immediately with pasta, bread or let it cool down properly before storing.
