How to Make Fat Free Tomato Sauce
- Roughly chop 2 lbs ripe tomatoes, 1 medium onion, 2 cloves garlic, and 1 green bell pepper. Finely chop 2 tbsp fresh basil and 1 tbsp fresh oregano.
- In a large saucepan, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Add the basil, oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Cover the pan and cook over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened and released their juices. The sauce should start to thicken slightly.
- Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Carefully transfer the sauce to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
- Return the sauce to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has reached your desired consistency, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Consider adding a pinch of sugar if the tomatoes are particularly tart.
- This sauce freezes beautifully! Store in airtight containers in the freezer for up to 3 months.
