How to Make Sicilian Spinach Sauce
- Finely chop 1 medium onion, 2 celery stalks, 2 cloves garlic, and 1 medium carrot.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, carrot, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
- Add 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach (thawed and squeezed dry), 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional), 1/4 cup nutritional yeast, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, salt and pepper to taste, and 1 tablespoon flax seeds (whole or ground).
- Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes, or until heated through and flavors have melded.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If using fresh herbs, add 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh oregano in step 3 and adjust seasoning accordingly.
