A fat free pasta sauce to indulge guilt free with your favorite whole grain pasta! Nothing beats the classic Marinara (red pasta sauce for those gastronomically challenged!)
Ingredients
1/2 cup reduced-sodium vegetable broth (i prefer to make a broth at home, to control salt levels)1 cup finely chopped white onion
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons no-salt-added tomato paste
2 (15-ounce) cans no-salt-added chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons no-salt-added tomato paste
2 (15-ounce) cans no-salt-added chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Method
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, bring broth to a simmer.
- Add onion, garlic and crushed red pepper and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add tomato paste and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to medium, stir in tomatoes and cook about 15 minutes to blend flavors, stirring occasionally to make sure mixture doesn't stick to the pan.
- Remove from heat and stir in vinegar, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Serve warm or chill until ready to serve.
This recipe makes about 3 cups and I bet you'd want to make a double batch and store it up, its that yummm and fat-free for sure!
Happy Cooking :)
