Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 400 grams crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 120 milliliters low-fat plain yogurt
- 100 milliliters vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Pour in the vegetable broth and season the sauce with dried basil, dried oregano, paprika powder, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the low-fat yogurt. Mix thoroughly until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Do not boil the sauce after adding the yogurt to prevent curdling.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the sauce before serving and serve hot with your favorite pasta or grain.
