Notes
- Try to use the best quality tinned tomatoes that you can, as they are the base of the sauce. Inexpensive tomatoes are too watery and you get a thin sauce rather than the rich thick one that we are going for.
- We also like added in some chopped kalamata olives which really boost those Greek flavours.
- You can swap the parsley for dill, which you will also find in a lot of Greek cuisine.
