Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 28 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes (no salt added)
- 8 ounces Canned tomato sauce (no salt added)
- 1 medium Onion, finely diced
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Carrot, finely grated
- 1 stick Celery, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- optional Salt (to taste)
- optional Ground black pepper (to taste)
- 0.5 cups Water or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large non-stick skillet or saucepan over medium heat. If needed, lightly spray with cooking spray.
Add the diced onion, grated carrot, and diced celery to the pan. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and water or vegetable broth.
Add the dried basil, oregano, thyme, and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the sauce simmer for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with optional salt and black pepper, if desired.
Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve over your favorite pasta or spiralized zucchini noodles. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation.
