Let’s Get Cooking - 20 Minutes

  • Heat oil in a large pan or pot with a lid

  • Add garlic, onion and chili flakes and stir until onions are soft

  • Add the tomato paste and combine. Add the oregano and paprika and combine

  • Add the cherry tomatoes and allow them to start blistering

  • Add the white wine and let it come to a boil to burn off the alcohol. Cover the pot for 3-5 minutes so the tomatoes can start to soften.

  • As the tomatoes soften, use a wooden spoon to smash them
