Method
Method:
Over medium heat drizzle some oil in a large saucepan and add the onion, garlic and herbs. Sauté for 2 minutes to lightly colour. Add the celery, carrot, leek, courgette and continue to sauté, stirring, for a further minute or so.
Next add the tomato purée, chopped tomatoes and water and season well. Bring the mixture to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes without a lid. Remove from the heat and using a handheld blender, blend until smooth. Check the seasoning and set aside. In the meantime, in a second saucepan, bring some salted water to the boil. Add the pasta and cook as per pack instructions. Drain and toss in the tomato sauce. Sprinkle with parmesan and serve immediately with some basil.
