Fabulous fast and easy pasta with tomato sauce

Recipe (for 1):

1 400g can of the best whole tomatoes you can find
1 garlic clove crushed
1/2 ts dried basil
1/2 ts dried parsley
25 ml the best olive oil you can get (it matters...)
salt, pepper to taste
a grind or two of chillies if you fancy

120g of your favourite pasta (I typically use shell style...)

• Get a big pot of salted water boiling for the pasta
• Add pasta and cook for its allotted time (I use pasta that takes 16 minutes)

Whilst all that is happening:

• Put all the sauce ingredients in a (nonstick) pot cold and put onto a high heat until boiling
• Lower heat to a brisk simmer and stir occasionally whilst the pasta is cooking
• Cook the sauce to reduce it down. You're looking for the sauce to have lost the bulk of its moisture and take on a slightly oily texture.

Finally:

• Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce pot and stir through
• Add your favourite pasta cheese if desired
• Eat
