WARNING! You will NOT want to open another store bought spaghetti sauce after making this easy, healthy and extremely delicious Spaghetti Sauce with a WARNING! What you're gonna need:
1 TBSP Olive Oil
1 Medium Onion, chopped
Minced Garlic (to your liking)
2 Cans of fire roasted tomatoes (get organic if you can)
1/2 C Tomato Paste
1/4 C Red Wine- of your choice
1 TBSP Dried Oregano
5 Basil Leaves or 2 tsp Dried Basil
1 tsp Sea Salt
1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper (or more if you like it HOT)
What your gonna do:
1. heat your olive oil in a sauce pan
2. add your onions and garlic- stir constantly about 2 min
3.stir your tomatoes, paste, red wine, dried oregano, sea salt & crushed red pepper
4. turn heat down and place a lid on your sauce pan and simmer for a minimum of 20 min. The longer you simmer, the tastier!
5. add your basil at the last 5 minutes of simmering
This sauce is great with whole wheat spaghetti noodles or any whole wheat pasta. I also use this sauce for my chicken Parmesan (recipe coming soon).
For a lower carb option (which is ideal for dinner), I steam 2 cups of broccoli in place of my noodles and add a chicken breast or lean ground turkey and top with "Spaghetti Sauce with a Warning!"
Remember to save a serving for you lunch tomorrow!
