Ingredients

Instructions

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