FOR THE TOMATO SAUCE

Heat the oil in a medium pan for 30sec, then add the onion and cook over a very gentle heat for 15min, stirring regularly until the onions are softened and translucent, but not browned. Add the garlic and continue to cook gently for 1min.
Add chopped tomatoes and stir well. Fill the empty tomato tin up to about half way with cold water and give it a swirl to catch any tomato juice, then add to the pan. Season the tomato sauce generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then turn up the heat to medium and allow the sauce to simmer for about 15min until it's thickened slightly.
While the sauce is simmering, cook 500g pasta - spaghetti or penne are good with this sauce - in a large pan of boiling water. Drain well, reserving around a cup of the cooking water. Return pasta to the pan, add the tomato sauce and toss well. Add a splash or two of cooking water to loosen the pasta and sauce.

WITH TUNA:

Drain an 80g can of tuna in oil or brine (you can use some of the oil to cook the onion in step 1). When the tomato sauce has thickened and finished simmering, stir in the drained tuna and cook for 2–3min to warm through. Toss with the pasta. Serves 4

WITH BACON:

Chop two rashers of rindless streaky bacon and add to the pan with the onion. Cook for 10–15min until bacon is browned, then add the tomatoes and complete the recipe. Serves 4

WITH RED PEPPER AND OLIVES:

Add one deseeded and sliced red pepper to the pan when frying the onion. When the sauce has finished simmering, add six pitted, chopped olives and cook for 1–2min to heat through. Serves 4.

For dinner

Grate over 50g (2oz) Cheddar cheese and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
