Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of water to the boil, salt it well and cook the pasta until just al dente. Drain it, keeping a little of the cooking water.
2. Heat the olive oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Soften the onion, carrot and salt for 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Add the tinned tomatoes, tomato paste, water, sugar, garlic, dried Italian herbs and black pepper. Blend if you want a smoother sauce.
4. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat. Cover with a splatter guard or a lid left ajar and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring now and then.
5. Add the cooked pasta and toss well. Loosen with a little pasta water if needed.
6. Top generously with chopped fresh basil and Parmesan.
