Nomato Sauce
Classic marinara sauce for pasta, casseroles and more!
If you miss being able to grab a jar of tomato-based sauce for all types of dishes, this recipe is for you.
This nightshade-free version of a classic marinara sauce can be made fresh or prepped in advance to stand in for classic jars of pasta sauce. It's excellent in pasta dishes, casseroles and stews.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1/2 cup pureed carrots
1/2 cup pureed beets
1/4 cup red wine (optional)
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
2 tbsp chopped basil or oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened and translucent.
If using, add the red wine and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits.
Add the broth, pureed carrots, pureed beets, honey or maple syrup, and herbs.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and the flavours have melded together.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
If you prefer a smoother sauce, blend it with a blender or an immersion blender before serving.
