Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons + 1 tablespoon of olive oil, divided
- 5 garlic cloves
- 1 carrot, roughly chopped
- 2 celery ribs, roughly chopped
- 1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning
- ½ tablespoon of paprika
- 1 (28-ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, in their juices
- 1 cup of water
- 1 teaspoon of sweetener (sugar, agave, etc.) (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
- red pepper flakes to taste (optional)
- 1 cup of basil, chopped (optional)
- 1 cup of Italian parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- In the cup of a food processor, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the garlic, carrot, celery, onion, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Process until the veggies are very finely minced.
- In a large pan with a lid, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium high heat. When hot, carefully add the veggie mixture. Stir to prevent burning, cook until all the juices evaporate. Saute the mixture for 2 minutes, regularly mixing.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, water, and sweetener if using. Mix well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour. The longer it simmers, the more flavorful it gets. Uncover, taste and add the salt and pepper to taste. Do not add salt before because canned tomatoes usually have salt.
- Cook uncovered for another 10 minutes. Add the fresh herbs in this step if using.
- Turn off the heat and serve over pasta, or store in mason jars with lids or freezer molds.

Notes
- When to add sweetener: This small amount of sugar doesn’t make the sauce sweet. Instead, it balances the flavors - especially useful when the tomatoes are overly acidic.
- For a smoother sauce: Either use an immersion blender or blend some or all of the vegetable tomato pasta sauce to your desired consistency.
- Adjust the simmer time: We recommend a minimum of 45-60 minutes, but simmer it for even longer, adding more water/broth if necessary, for the ingredients to meld and develop the most delicious, complex flavors.
