Basic Sauce Base
Chop onion and soften gently in oil.
Add a tin of tomatoes (or Passata or both)
Chop some garlic to taste and chuck it in.
Now you can add all sorts of stuff that goes with the above.

I like this with mussels, or just with fresh spinach and mushrooms added. Add some cayenne pepper if you want a bit of kick, or even as it is with some fresh basil ripped up and chopped in.

Also if you don't fancy the tomatoes, how about frying some some chopped chicken and onions, then cooking them in cream of mushroom soup, then mix in a desert spoon of wholegrain mustard and add black pepper and chives to taste.

Another one i like is to make a beef stew, but adding some fussli or penne to the stew 10-12 minutes before the end of cooking instead of adding potatoes.
