Tip

When using tomato paste or any type of tomato in cooking it is important to always cook it for a few minutes before adding liquid to get rid of the raw tomato flavour and it is a good idea to add a pinch of sugar and a splash of vinegar for balance

    Just taste tested the sauce while it's finishing off.....yum! I'm not normally a huge fan of tomato pasta sauces but this is good! Can't wait to try it with the pasta and crunchy cheese crumb topping!  Thanks for sharing  tmrc_emoticons.)

    :O tmrc_emoticons.~I forgot to remove the amount of tomato passata from original recipe, 750 grams would be way too much.also don't miss the step of 'frying' off the curry powder as it develops the flavour.
