Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

Roughly chop the peppers, courgette and onions.

Pop into the oven and bake until golden and becoming soft.

Once that is done, chop the tomatoes and add into the pan.

Then crush the garlic with the back of a knife and pop that in too.

Tear up half of the basil and add that in. Put back in the oven to back until the tomatoes are soft.

Check on it and stir as necessary. 

Approx around 20 - 30 mins.

Add in all the herbs etc, the tinned tomatoes, tomato puree and the rest of the fresh basil.

Turn the oven down to 140 (or  equivalent) and let the mix cook down.

Taste to see if the seasoning is correct.

Once you’re happy with the taste, take out of the oven.

Put into the food processor and blend until smooth. Or leave chunkier if you prefer.
