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
