Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 (28 oz) cans whole peeled tomatoes with puree
1 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1/2 medium onion, peeled but left intact
1 1/2 tsp dried basil*
1/2 tsp dried oregano*
1/2 can water ((fill one of the tomato cans half way))
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp low carb sugar ((Sukrin :1. Swerve, Lakanto, Besti, Truvia))
1-2 large sprigs fresh basil ((optional))
1-2 large sprigs fresh parsley ((optional))
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Slice garlic and place into pot with olive oil. Turn the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally until slightly softened and the oil is flavored.
Meanwhile, open the tomato cans and pour the tomatoes into a blender or food processor and pulse to break-up the tomatoes. Pulse more for a smooth sauce and less for a chunky sauce.
Pour the processed tomatoes into the pot with the garlic and add the half onion, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, sweetener, and half a can of water.
Simmer for 1 hour. Then add the fresh basil, parsley, and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 30-60 minutes more or until it's as thick as you like. (You can tell it's thickening because the consistency will look a little syrupy when the bubbles break upon the surface. Remember that the sauce will thicken further upon cooling and refrigeration.)
Remove the onion, and sprigs of fresh basil and parsley before serving or cooling and storing.
Makes 2 quarts or 8 cups. Serves 16. Each serving is 1/2 cup and 3.5 g NET CARBS each.

Tips:

Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. If using canned tomatoes, choose whole peeled tomatoes and crush them yourself to maintain their texture.
Add a variety of herbs and spices to your sauce to create a unique flavor profile. Some popular options include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and pepper flakes.
Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
Use a food processor or blender to puree the sauce until it reaches your desired consistency. You can also leave it chunky if you prefer.
Add cooked meat or vegetables to your sauce for a more hearty meal. Some popular options include ground beef, sausage, chicken, or bell peppers.
Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta, rice, or zucchini noodles. You can also use it as a pizza sauce or a dipping sauce for vegetables or bread.

Conclusion:

Homemade tomato sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and effort, you can create a delicious and healthy tomato sauce that the whole family will enjoy.
