- STEP 3Once the rest of the vegetables are softened add in the tomato puree and stir until evenly distributed over the vegetables
- STEP 4Add the tin of tomatoes into the pan and allow to simmer for about 20 mins with the lid covering - if you prefer a thicker sauce you may want to leave the pan uncovered for a while
