Ingredients

½ onion
2 tsp olive oil
1 clove garlic (optional), chopped or crushed
1 tin tomatoes and onions, or four chopped skinless tomatoes
1 tin peas (must be tinned)
Penna pasta

Method

Heat the oil in a frying pan and add  the onion. When soft add the garlic and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the tinned tomato and onions or tomatoes and allow to simmer.

When cooked, remove sauce from heat, add the tinned peas and season to taste.

Meanwhile, boil a kettle of water for the pasta (it's more efficient) and pour into a saucepan. Cook pasta according to the packet instructions. Drain using a sieve or colander and place the sieve / colander back on to pot you cooked the pasta in.

Pour the rest of the olive oil over the pasta and toss. I suggest adding the pasta to the sauce now, and then serve.
