Thanks so much, I really appreciate that! I think the fresh basil adds a nice natural taste, but if you don't have it on hand dried basil will be fine! Give it a whirl!

[MindOverMunch]

You could always use fresh tomatoes if you prefer, but it's definitely more work! The canned tomatoes allows your sauce to reduce more quickly/easily. The ones I use have only tomatoes, basil, salt & water as ingredients. You are right, though– many canned foods do have processed ingredients. There are so many varieties of canned products, many of which have no unnatural additives, so be sure to check the labels to see what works for you! Hope this helps!

[MindOverMunch]

Me too! Thanks for your support! Hope you find some recipes you can try! :)

[MindOverMunch]

Ha! I ALSO wish video could convey smell... and taste! I cook with very little salt, & it's almost always optional in my recipes. Canned foods can be high in sodium, so I try to buy low sodium versions. If it's beans or corn, I'll even rinse them off in a colander first. Any salt in this recipe is natural from the ingredients, other than the crushed tomatoes- so your sodium will depend on which tomatoes you buy. I'd check the labels to decide which works for you! Thanks for your kind words!

Haha I hear you! You could always "dilute" the sugar in the store-bought sauce by mixing it with your homemade until you get rid of it! AND remember that pasta sauce CAN be frozen! Thanks for your support! :)
