How to Make Fat Free Tomato Sauce

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Carefully transfer the sauce to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  5. 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.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Consider adding a pinch of sugar if the tomatoes are particularly tart.
  7. This sauce freezes beautifully! Store in airtight containers in the freezer for up to 3 months.
