Tip from Ellie:

This recipe makes a nice, big batch of sauce. Freeze any extra in small containers and/or ice cube trays so you’ll have it on hand to thaw and use whenever you need it.

Preparation Steps:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add in whole canned tomatoes, including the juice, breaking them apart gentlywith a spoon.
  3. Mix in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar if using, dried oregano, dried basil and season with salt and pepper. Stir in ½ cup of water.
  4. Simmer uncovered on low heat for about 20 minutes, or until thickened to the desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.
  5. Serve over whole grain pasta, as a base for pizza or as a dip for your favorite appetizers!
