Method

Gather and prepare your ingredients. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan.

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and chilli flakes, if using, and sizzle for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Don’t let the garlic take on any colour. Add the tomato passata with a sprinkle of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally for 12-15 minutes, until darkened and reduced.
