3. Stir in 1 (700g) can crushed tomatoes, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 2 cups chopped vegetables (e.g., carrots, zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms – pre-cooked in the microwave for 2 minutes is recommended), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional).
4. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
6. Serve the sauce over your favorite hot pasta. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese or your favorite cheese (optional).
