Rich and Pretty Pasta Sauce

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1 celery stalk, roughly chopped
    2 cups carrots, roughly chopped
    1 28 ounce can whole or chopped tomatoes
    1 large onion, roughly chopped
    1 boullion cube
    1/2 cup good quality olive oil
    2 tsp sugar
    salt and pepper to taste
    crushed red pepper flakes for garnish (optional)

Directions:

Put everything EXCEPT the olive oil in a saucepan and cook on medium heat until carrots are tender
Puree the lot with a hand blender
Add the olive oil and whiz again with the handblender for about 15 seconds
Simmer for 20-30 minutes
Give it a final whiz with the handblender (careful, it's hot!) and serve over pasta.

This is a rich, subtle sort of sauce that is also very pretty.  The red pepper flakes add a bit of heat and also compliment the sauce's vibrant orange colour.
