Until I was 4, we lived in Europe and I lived on spaghetti bolognese. Since then, tomato-based pasta sauce is something that I take great time over, simmering slowly for a long time on the hob etc etc. However, what happens when (like me) you get a great craving for tomato sauce on a Monday night? Try this:
In a food processor or blender, whizz until smooth a can of tomatoes, 3 cloves of garlic, 2 shallots or 1 onion, some lemon juice and ~200ml of olive oil (don't skimp or it won't work). A bit of fresh chilli is nice if you fancy it too. Season well with sea salt and black pepper.
Put the pasta onto boil and heat the sauce over a medium heat, but don't overboil.
For something a bit different, flake some smoked fish through the pasta, then add the tomato sauce - smoked mackerel is particularly nice.
