Υλικά

75ml olive oil

2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

1kg cherry tomatoes, sliced in half

½ tsp caster sugar (or a bit more or less, depending on the sweetness of the tomatoes)

20g basil leaves

400g fettuccine (or spaghetti)

35g Parmesan, finely grated salt

Οδηγίες

Put the oil into a large sauté pan and place on a medium high heat.

Once hot, add the garlic and fry for up to 1 minute, stirring a few times, until starting to caramelise.

Add the tomatoes - carefully, so that the oil doesn't spit - along with the sugar, chilli and ½ teaspoon of salt. Pour over 200ml of water and stir for 4 minutes, until the tomatoes are starting to break down and the liquid is bubbling.

Reduce the heat to medium low and cook for about 1 hour, stirring every once in a while, until the tomatoes and ancho have broken down and the sauce has thickened.

Stir in the basil and set aside somewhere warm.
