Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
  • 4 tablespoons onion dried, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, minced
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon thyme dried
  • 1 tablespoon rosemary dried
  • 1 tablespoon oregano dried
  • 1 tablespoon parsley dried
  • 1 dash Stevia extract (optional--see Recipe Notes for alternatives)
  • 3 1/2 pounds tomato can also use 56 ounces canned tomatoes, diced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place oil in pan.
  2. Heat over medium heat.
  3. Add onion and garlic. If using minced dried onion, add about 1/4 cup water to rehydrate. Cook for approximately 2 minutes until browned.
  4. If desired, process the sauce either before or after cooking for a smoother sauce.
  5. Add remaining ingredients and cook for about 7 minutes until the sauce is slightly darkened in color.
  6. Serve over pasta.

Notes

  • Oil: For oil, I recommend using either organic palm oil, organic light olive oil, or organic avocado oil as they have higher smoke points.
  • Sweetener: You can really use any sweetener you like or omit.
  • Onions: You can substitute two small diced onions for the dried minced onions if you like.
  • THM: This recipe will qualify as an "S" if you are on the Trim Healthy Mama plan. Reduce the oil to 2 tablespoons for a "fuel pull," assuming you will use about 1 cup sauce per person.
