This marinara sauce goes really well with my Crazy Curly Courgette noodles. By adding fresh chillies or chilli powder you could also use this as a salsa, which compliments the sweet potato crisps.

| Where did it all go????? |
Don't worry - I know it looks like in the picture that this recipe doesn't yield very much. But..... I ate over half of it by 'accident' before I took the photo!!
Ingredients:
- 5 cherry tomatoes
- 5 sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 large tomato
- 1 - 1 1/2 tbs of tomato puree
- 1 very small onion (or half a medium/ large one)
- 1 clove garlic
- 7 sprigs of fresh basil (or 2tbs of ground, dried basil and 1tbs of ground, dried oregano)
- Salt to taste
- Optional: 1/2 tbs of lime juice (I made it with lime juice and it is delicious, but you can omit it if you like and it will still be just as good!)
- Optional: 2tbs of fresh oregano
- Optional: 2 pitted dates (it makes the sauce slightly sweeter - however I prefer it without!)
Method
- It isn't very difficult - just bung all ingredients into a food processor until it is the consistency you want (I like mine to be more roughly chopped then smooth - but it is up to you!)
