Cook's tips
- A large pinch of chili flakes is enough to warm your throat, but not burn your tongue off, add more to your liking
- Just run a knife through the tomatoes a couple of times, while they’re in the tin, they’ll break down anyway when they’re in the sauce, and you end up with a better consistency
Equipment
- Large non stick frying pan or wok
