Easy Pasta Sauce Recipe
A delicious, Easy Pasta Sauce recipe that is perfect for spaghetti, eggplant parmesan, stuffed zucchini and more!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 yellow onion minced
- 1-2 cloves garlic minced
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 5 tablespoons red wine
- 1 tablespoon butter sub plant-based
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano leaves
- 1 tablespoon dried basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Sauté: Bring a saucepan to a medium-high heat and add 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil. Add onions and minced garlic; move around pan with wooden spoon until they become fragrant - about 30 seconds.
- Combine + Simmer: To the pot, add 28 ounces crushed tomatoes, 5 tablespoons red wine, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon dried oregano leaves, 1 tablespoon dried basil leaves, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper; stir to combine. Cover and simmer for a minimum of 30 minutes; feel free to simmer anywhere between 30 minutes to 2 hours or longer.
- Serve: Use in your favorite recipes - we love it on fresh pasta, roasted eggplant parmesan or sausage stuffed zucchini!
Notes
- Red wine: feel free to sub in pomegranate juice, if you want to avoid alcohol.
- Tomatoes: the quality really does matter in this recipe! I would recommend DeLallo or San Marzano.
- Consistency: feel free to add the sauce to a blender and pulse if you want a smoother consistency.
- Fresh Herbs: feel free to use fresh herbs instead of the dried OR feel free to add some in addition to dried herbs.
- Storage: cool completely and then store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Freezing: after it has cooled you can pour it into a freezer-safe container (that has extra room for the sauce to expand) and freeze for up to 3 months.
