Categories     Main Course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (I used Private Reserve Greek extra virgin olive oil)
1 medium yellow onion, grated
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 carrots, finely grated (use a food processor or a grater)
28 oz canned crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup water (pasta cooking water, preferred)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp sweet Spanish paprika
Pinch red pepper flakes, optional
Handful fresh basil, about ½ cup packed, torn
Handful fresh parsley, about ½ cup packed, chopped
3/4 lb to 1 lb of cooked pasta of your choice

Steps:

  • In a large pan heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until just shimmering. Add the onions, garlic, and finely grated carrots. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring regularly until softened.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes and about 1/2 cup water. Add a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in oregano, paprika, crushed pepper flakes, if using. Finally, stir in the fresh basil and parsley.
  • Bring the sauce to a boil, then turn heat to low. Cover and let simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes. Check partway through, and if you feel the sauce is too thick, you can add a bit more water (preferably some of your pasta cooking water). When sauce is ready, throw in more fresh basil, if you like.
  • If serving for dinner, add cooked pasta of your choice to the sauce. Mix to combine and let the pasta cook in the sauce over low heat for about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: This will give your sauce the best flavor. If you can, use tomatoes that are in season.
  • Don't overcook the tomatoes: You want the tomatoes to be cooked through, but not mushy. Overcooked tomatoes will lose their flavor.
  • Add a little sugar: This will help to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil will add a rich flavor to your sauce. Avoid using vegetable oil or butter.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  • Let the sauce simmer: The longer you simmer the sauce, the better the flavor will be. Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour.
  • Serve the sauce with your favorite pasta: This sauce is perfect for spaghetti, penne, or any other type of pasta.
