Add 2/3 cup tomato juice or passata, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in a handful of fresh thyme leaves, and season.

Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in another frying pan over medium heat, and sauté 7oz (200g) white button mushrooms (larger ones halved and small ones kept whole) for 5–10 minutes, until golden.
