No Oil Marinara Sauce

Healthy and easy oil free marinara sauce. Made with whole peeled tomatoes, tomato paste, onions, and garlic. I like to make a big batch and then freeze for use later.

No Oil Marinara Sauce
serves 12
prep time: 2 minutes
cook time: 60 minutes

Ingredients:

1 large onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 Cup vegetable broth, or water
.5 cup red wine
4 28 ounce cans whole peeled tomatoes
6 ounce can tomato paste
.5 tsp. dried oregano
.5 tsp. dried basil
4 tsp. Kosher salt
Handful fresh basil, leaves cut or torn

Instructions:

In a large pot over medium heat, add the broth (or water), red wine, onion, and garlic. Bring to a boil and simmer 3-5 minutes or until the onions begin to soften.

Add the tomato paste and stir, add the whole peeled tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, and salt.

Bring to a simmer and then reduce to low heat. Cook for an hour, stirring every so often to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Turn off the heat and using a potato masher, crush the tomatoes to your desired consistency. Alternatively, use a stick blender to puree the sauce to your desired consistency. I prefer it somewhat chunky.

Add the basil and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
