Basic Tomato Sauce

POSTED: 3:34 pm HST November 14, 2006

Ingredients:
  • 2 TBS extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, sliced very thin
  • 1/3 of a carrot, grated
  • 1 28-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes (I buy these at R. Fields at the Foodland Beretania)
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • Instructions:
    1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and carrot and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
    2. Add the plum tomatoes. You can crush them in your fingers, or on the show we smashed them with a potato masher. (You could also you a hand blender, but leave them sort of chunky.)
    3. Add Italian seasoning, and salt. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.
