2) Add the chopped tomatoes (if included in the ingredients) and sauté until they are soft and cooked.
3) Add the tomato puree(if included in the ingredients) to the pan and stir in.
4) Add the salt , herbs and chilli(if included in the ingredients). Add a little water at this stage if the mixture turns to dry which happens when we add salt. You still want to maintain the sauce consistency.
5) Add the cheese(if included in the ingredients) , grate it or chop it, it will melt away anyway.
6) Let it simmer for 1 min. The sauce is ready to use.
