James Martin makes a basic tomato sauce using both tin and fresh tomatoes, basil and garlic used in three different dishes – panzanella salad, Tuna Steak and Pasta – on James Martin: Home Comforts Home Cooked Ready Meals.

James says: “This simple tomato sauce is great with pasta but can also be used as a base for other recipes. For the best flavour, use really good quality tin tomatoes.”
