Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 16 ounces pasta of choice
  • 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes (fire roasted for a deeper flavor*)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 5 large cloves garlic
  • 4 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped basil
  • 1/2 - 1 tsp red pepper flakes (or more to taste*)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Cashew Parmesan for garnish

Instruction

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package instructions. 
  • Dice the onion and garlic and add to a pan with the olive oil. 
  • Saute for 5-10 minutes or until the onion is translucent. 
  • Add the chopped basil, tomato paste and salt and saute an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors blend together.
  • Add the onion mixture to a blender along with the can of tomatoes and all remaining ingredients and process until your desired consistency. Pulse a few times to keep it  a bit chunky, process completely until smooth, or skip this step entirely if you want a lot of texture to the sauce.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. 
  • Transfer the sauce back to the pan and let simmer for about 10 minutes to let the flavors blend together.
  • Combine the cooked spaghetti and sauce and top with fresh basil and cashew parmesan if desired.
