Ingredients
- 2 tbs butter optional – 2 tbs vegetable oil if keeping vegan
- ½ onion chopped small
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 oz tomato sauce it is the bigger sized can of sauce, can
- 1 oz tomato paste canned
- 1 oz San Marzano Tomatoes
- 1 chipotle pepper dried, heavy pinch
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 3 tbs heavy cream optional – 3 tbs almond milk if keeping vegan
Instructions
- In a sauce pot, over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and cook until soft – 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic. Cook for 2 minutes more.
- Add the tomato sauce, paste and san marzano tomatoes. Use a potato masher and smash the san marzano tomatoes to release the juices.
- Add the chipotle pepper, sugar, salt and pepper.
- Heat over medium heat until the sauce comes to a simmer. Allow to simmer as long as you desire. See notes.
- 5 minutes before serving, add the cream, taste and add more salt and pepper as desired.
Notes
- If you don't have fresh onions it is OK to substitute 1 Tbs onion powder OR ½ cup of frozen chopped onion.
- Substitution of 1 Tbs of garlic powder OR 1 Tbs of jarred chopped garlic is OK to substitute for the fresh garlic.
- When smashing the tomatoes with the potato smasher, just gently smash and that will leave the tomato sauce slightly chunky.
- As the sauce cooks, the chunks of tomato will disintegrate.
- If you simmer the sauce for too long and it becomes too thick, simply add some water and stir.
- This sauce is perfect with my meatballs!
- If you prefer sauce with some ground meat, simply brown some hamburger or sausage or a mixture of the two and pour the contents into this sauce.
- This sauce can be multiplied for as large a crowd as you want to cook for.
- Use the leftovers to make a meatball sandwich!
