30g freshly grated parmesan
1 litre boiling water

2. Add the tomato purée, chilli flakes, chopped tomatoes and red wine vinegar. Stir in spaghetti and add the boiling water before stirring well.
3. Bring mixture to a boil before reducing the heat, covering and simmering for 12 to 15 minutes until pasta is just cooked and the sauce is reduced and thickened. Stir the sauce occasionally to make sure it isn’t sticking.
