How to cook deliciously - Spicy tomato spaghetti

1. Stage

Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a shallow pan and sizzle the garlic and dried chilli, if using, over a medium heat for 2 mins. Sprinkle in the sugar, splash in the vinegar, then tip in the tomatoes. Add the oregano, season with salt and simmer for 25-30 mins, stirring occasionally until thickened. Will keep chilled for up to two days or frozen for three months. Leave to cool completely first.

2. Stage

To serve, cook the spaghetti following pack instructions, then drain and tip back into the saucepan. Pour over the sauce, remove the whole chilli and toss everything together over a low heat for a minute or two. Turn off the heat and toss through the remaining olive oil and the parmesan, if using.
