Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 small onion (diced)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 carrot (finely grated)
  • 2 28 oz cans San Marzano Tomatoes
  • 1/2 C water
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 4-5 fresh basil leaves
  • 1 T sugar

Instruction

  • In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, salt & pepper. Cook until onions are just starting to soften.
  • Add carrots and cook another 4-5 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, by hand, giving them a little squish as you drop them in (or you can drop them all in at once and give a little squish with a heavy wooden spoon, but not as fun).
  • Add water, sugar and herbs and stir together.
  • Simmer sauce, uncovered, 30-40 minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender, process the sauce until smooth (You may also use a regular blender if immersion blender is not an option)
  • Garnish with additional fresh basil leaves when serving.
