Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Carrot, finely diced
• 1 stalk Celery stalk, finely diced
• 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes, no salt added
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and slightly translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced celery. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and vegetable broth to the pan, stirring to combine.

Step 5

Sprinkle in the oregano, basil, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir well.

Step 6

Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan with a lid and let the sauce simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs to suit your preference.

Step 8

If you'd like to thicken the sauce further, let it simmer uncovered for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 9

Serve hot over your favorite cooked pasta or use as a base for other dishes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
