Healthy Spaghetti Sauce

This healthy spaghetti sauce is a mild tomato based pasta sauce. It’s an excellent pantry staple that you can use for a wide range of different recipes, including of course, spaghetti!

📝 Ingredients

• 2 14 oz cans of diced tomatoes ((2 x 400 g))
• 3 tbsp tomato paste
• 3 tbsp finely chopped basil
• 1 onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp olive oil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1First, you should finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
2. 2Heat the olive oil in a large pot. Add the onion, and saute for a few minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
3. 3Then, add the tomato paste and garlic, and saute for about 30 seconds while stirring until they are warmed up.
4. 4Add the canned diced tomatoes and salt, and stir to combine.
5. 5Cover with a lid, and leave the sauce to simmer on very low heat for up to 1 hour. Give the sauce a stir every 20 minutes to ensure that it doesn’t burn.
6. 6You can either keep the sauce chunky, or if you prefer a smooth spaghetti sauce, you can use an immersion blender or a regular blender to blend it completely smooth.
7. 7Lastly, finely chop fresh basil, and add this to the sauce a few minutes before serving.
