Simple Ragu!!

Sorry i havent posted in a while (again!!!)

thought i would come back with an easy quick and simple ragu recipe.. You could add mince to it, use it as a pasta sauce or have it with meatballs!!!

You will need:

6 tomatos (i used on the vine reduced ones that were quite squidgey)
2 Carrots - grated
2 sticks of celery - chopped finely
a handful of button mushrooms - chopped
Handful of fresh basil - roughly torn/chopped
1 can of tinned chopped tomatos
1/2 pint veg stock

Chop tomatoes into quarters and de-seed
put them in a non stick sauce pan with your veg stock and bring to the boil. Reduce for 5 mins and then keep on to simmer

Add your grated carrot, celery, basil, mushrooms and simmer for 5 minutes.

Blend your ingredients while on the heat till thick and 'creamy'

add your chopped tomatos and leave to simmer for 5 minutes.

You could blend it again but i like my tomato sauce chunky!!

Season with salt and pepper!
