Method:
1 Heat the oil in a large saucepan (do not use non-stick) and gently
cook the onion, carrot, celery, garlic and leek for 5 minutes
without browning. Stir occasionally.
2 Place the lid on the pan and cook for 20 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Add the chopped peppers and cook gently for a
further 10 minutes with the lid on.
3 Add the tomatoes, herbs, sugar and vinegar to the pan. Season
with salt and pepper and simmer with the lid on for 45 minutes,
or until the carrot and celery are softened.
4 Cook the pasta according to the pack instructions.
5 Use the Blending Leg at speed 4 on the Variable Speed Control
to make a smooth sauce. This can be done in the pan as long as
the pan does not have a non stick coating. Start the hand blender
using the Precise Control Trigger, gently moving it across the pan
until the desired consistency is achieved. For a smooth sauce,
this should take about a minute.
6 Drain the pasta then stir the sauce through it. Heat through if
necessary then serve immediately with Parmesan cheese.
Method:
1 Fit the blade into the Chopping Bowl.
2 Put all ingredients into the bowl in the order listed left.
3 Attach the Chopping Bowl Blending Lid and Main Unit. Blend
using the Precise Control Trigger on speed 7 for 10 seconds.
Scrape down the bowl with a spatula if necessary then blend
again for a further 5-10 seconds.
4 Pour into a serving bowl and allow to stand for an hour or so
before serving. This allows flavour to develop and froth to
subside.
Serve with tortilla chips.
Note: It is possible to make a 350ml quantity in the bowl if
desired.
