Low Sodium Spaghetti Sauce with Fresh Tomatoes

This homemade low sodium spaghetti sauce is the perfect lower sodium and sugar-free alternative to store-bought pasta sauce and is so easy to make!

Ingredients:

– Extra-virgin olive oil – Onion – Garlic – Fresh tomatoes – Sun-dried tomatoes

Drizzle olive oil into a medium-sized pot. Add the onion, and garlic and stir to combine. Season with a little salt and pepper. Saute over medium high heat for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.

Cut the tomatoes into quarters and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Dice tomatoes into 1-inch cubes. Stir in the diced tomatoes and increase heat to medium-high until it starts to boil.

When the mixture boils, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15 minutes, uncovered, until most of the liquid evaporates. Monitor closely, reducing to low heat if necessary, and stirring often.

Add sun-dried tomatoes into a blender or food processor along with two ladles of the tomato mixture. Blend until mostly smooth.

Stir the tomato puree back into the tomato sauce in the pot. Stir in the minced basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
