• Stir in tomato puree, smoked paprika, chilli flakes (if using), tinned tomatoes, vegetable stock, fresh basil and bring to a gentle boil. Cover with a lid and simmer for 30-40 mins until the sauce is reduced to the desired consistency. If the sauce is too thick, add water as needed. Taste the sauce at this stage & season with salt & pepper. If the sauce is a little too acidic, add coconut sugar to reduce the acidity.
