This tomato sauce recipe changed my life. It is so easy and can be used with pretty much anything from pasta, vegetables with rice, as a soup, over baked potatoes whatever you like really.

Rice - i have found a very simple method that works really well. Rins a cup of rice with cold water (using a seive) to remove the starch. Place into a pyrex dish and cover with boiling water from a kettle. You need to have about 2-3 cm of water above the rice. Then i simply put it in the microwave for 12 mins (850W microwave, you may need a bit more if your microwave is less powerful). In the 12 minutes you can easily make the tomato sauce recipe mentioned above.
