 How can I make a healthy and tasty tomato sauce?

Here is a recipe for a healthy and tasty tomato sauce:

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. Add the diced tomatoes, basil, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.

3. Use an immersion blender to blend the sauce until it reaches your desired consistency. Alternatively, you can transfer the sauce to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

4. Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta, or use it as a base for a homemade pizza. Enjoy!

Tips:

• Feel free to add other vegetables, such as bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms, to the sauce for added flavor and nutrition.
• You can also add a bit of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can simmer it for longer or add a bit of tomato paste.
