The only tomato pasta you'll ever need

By Emma · Updated May 18 · 12 min read

Every Sunday, the smell of tomatoes simmering on the stove takes me straight back to my grandmother's kitchen.

She never measured a thing. She cooked by feel, with a wooden spoon worn smooth from decades of family dinners.

This recipe has changed a little through the years, but the feeling around the table has stayed exactly the same.

Before we get to the recipe, let's talk about tomatoes. The right tin makes all the difference to this comforting sauce.

I tested this dish seven times so you can get that slow-cooked flavor on even the busiest Tuesday night.

My children ask for it every week, and there are never any leftovers. I hope it becomes a favorite in your home too.

Ingredients
