1/2 of a yellow onion (chopped) 1/4 cup shallot (chopped) 3 garlic cloves (chopped) 2 roma tomatoes (I chop into small chunks and de-seed) 1/4 cup green pepper (chopped) 2 tablespoon fresh oregano (chopped) 2 tablespoon fresh basil (chopped) Dried Italian Seasoning, Oregano, Garlic Powder, S&P to taste 2 teaspoon sugar 1/4 cup baby carrots (chopped) 1 can of tomato sauce (I use Simple Truth Organic) see picture above 1 can of diced tomatoes (I use Simple Truth Organic) see picture above 2 cup Fat Free Chicken Broth (any kind will work) 1/4 cup olive oil
DIRECTIONS Step one: >Put olive oil in large saucepan on medium-high heat (keep an eye on the oil so it doesn't burn) >Chop onion, shallot, & garlic...put into pan when oil is ready (ask if unsure here) >Allow these ingredients to sweat and brown just a bit
Step two: >Chop and de-seed roma tomatoes, cut carrots/pepper & add to saucepan >Open both cans & add to saucepan, along with Chicken Broth >Add fresh herbs & spices to sauce >Allow sauce to boil on medium-high heat for 20 minutes
Step three: >Blend sauce to smoother consistency if you have a picky loved one [;P] or keep chunky >Taste and season to your preference
Use this sauce with Mozz-Stuffed Meatballs & Spaghetti (see recipe tab) or with anything else you prefer! ENJOY...xoxo
