This 'lazy girl' sauce can turn into 10 different dinners.

This is my ultimate "lazy girl" secret weapon — a big pot of "Saviour Sauce" you can make once, then throw on everything for the next few days like the domestic goddess you absolutely did not feel like being.

It's packed with sneaky veggies and beans (so it does the most, while you do the least), and it turns into pasta sauce, soup, baked eggs and pizza sauce.

It's basically dinner in autopilot mode.

'Saviour' Sauce.

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 1–4 hours

Serves: 4–6 people

Ingredients:

Olive oil

½ onion, diced

2 cloves garlic

1 cup grated vegetables (I used zucchini, red capsicum and carrot)

Fresh tomatoes (if you have any), diced

1 tsp dried Italian herbs

1 can cannellini beans, drained

1 tsp sugar

½ tsp salt

1 tbsp tomato paste

1 420g can crushed tomatoes

¼ cup chicken stock (but water is fine if you don't have it!)

Method:

In a large pot or slow cooker, add your oil, onion, garlic, herbs, veggies, sugar and salt.

Sauté until onion is translucent and fragrant.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook low and slow for as long as you can — 4 hours is great.

When the sauce is done, blitz with a hand blender or food processor.

Chilli Sausage Spaghetti

Cook your pasta of choice.

In a medium pan, add oil, sliced fresh chilli and sliced leftover sausage.

(You could also use fresh sausage, pepperoni or chorizo.)

When sausage is cooked through and caramelised (or warmed through if using leftovers), add in your Saviour Sauce and stir through.

Stir in your cooked pasta, grate over parmesan and sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil if you have it!

Other ideas for the Saviour Sauce:

Tomato Soup: Add some stock and cream to this sauce and you have an instant, rich tomato soup.

Baked Eggs: Add some sauce to a pan, crack in a couple of eggs, drizzle with chilli oil. Delish.

Pizza: Use as a base for your homemade pizza nights.
