Add tomatoes and tomato paste; combine and let mixture cook at medium for 10 minutes (use a spatter screen if available), stirring frequently.

Taste for flavour at this stage; add herbs. If desired, add soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco sauce to taste. Stir and let simmer at medium-low for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Just prior to serving, add lemon juice (a chef trick to "brighten up" flavours!) and stir in.
