Delicious Creamy Pasta Sauce

A very simple recipe for a speedy pasta sauce.

Thinly slice an onion, fry in one tablespoon of olive oil until starting to brown, pour in half a glass of white wine then add two cloves of garlic finely chopped, stir and fry for a further minute. Add a tin of chopped tomatoes, 1 teaspoon of basil, 1 teaspoon of marjoram and half a teaspoon of thyme, stir to mix. Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato puree and 1/4 cup of water, mix well and bring to the boil, simmer for 5 minutes. Finely add 2 tablespoons of herbed soft cheese ( I use Tesco Light with garlic and herbs), stir until cheese melts and has blended in with other ingredients. Cook for a further 2 minutes then remove from heat and serve with freshly cooked pasta.

You could add cooked seafood such as prawns, mussels, squid or fish such as tuna or salmon, or even some cooked chicken; add during last two minutes of cooking and ensure thoroughly heated through before serving.
