Tomato, Garlic and Black Olive Pasta Sauce

1. Add the oil and butter into a small saucepan over a medium heat. Oil is added as it can handle the heat better, ensuring the butter won’t burn. Once it’s heated through add the garlic, cook for a minute then add the onion.

2. Give the onion five minutes to soften, then add the tomato puree and olives. Give those another five minutes to cook, then add the chopped tomato, herbs, then season with salt, pepper and sugar (if your tomatoes are a little bitter/acidic). Then pop a lid on, reduce the heat to medium low, and leave to cook for 15 minutes, stirring every now and then.

3. Finally blend until smooth with a blender or stick blender, then stir through cooked pasta. Serve with garlic bread for a classic carbs plus more carbs combo.
