Yield Makes 6 1/2 cups (13 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 large yellow onion, cut into small dice
Salt
Crushed red pepper
Two 28-ounce cans tomato puree
1/2 cup water
1 small piece of Parmigiano- Reggiano cheese rind
1 large sprig fresh basil

Steps:

  • Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat. When the pot is hot, add the olive oil. Add the garlic and onion, and season them with salt and crushed red pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion and garlic are translucent, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the tomato puree, water, and Parmigiano-Reggiano rind to the pot. Bring to a simmer. Then cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 25 minutes.
  • With the back of a knife, bruise the basil and stir the sprig into the sauce. Simmer the sauce, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Season with salt and crushed red pepper to taste, if desired. Serve, or store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery. It didn't have the thick, rich consistency that I was hoping for.

This sauce is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped zucchini and carrots, and it turned out delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of low-fat sauces, but this one is actually pretty good. It's not as rich and flavorful as a traditional marinara sauce, but it's a good option if you're looking for something lighter.
