You will need:

Worcestershire sauce, to taste

1 tin of chopped tomatoes

1 carton of passata

1 tbs of tomato puree

Bon Apetit!

Using 1kg of mince will give you 8/10 portions, depending on your portion size. Most supermarkets sell foil trays (like at the Chinese Takeaway) which are perfect for home freezing.

If you freeze, allow to defrost in the fridge 24 hours before reheating on the hob and serving with fresh pasta.
