Healthier Marinara Pasta Sauce
This simple marinara sauce uses pantry ingredients and is ready to go after about 15 minutes of cooking time. Toss it with your favorite pasta for an easy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 can Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic & Oregano (unsalted version)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- cooked pasta of your choice, I used a medley of vegetable infused and whole wheat pasta
Instructions
- In one pot, bring your pasta to a boil and cook to desired doneness.
- At the same time, take a medium saucepan and make your sauce. Add in the canned tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, salt and seasoning and bring to a low simmer. Cook with lid for 10-15 minutes. Remove lid from pot to reduce the sauce, but keep it nearby as you stir as the tomato sauce tends to spray.
- Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring constantly. When the sauce is finished, add in pepper, then toss pasta in the sauce. Then serve immediately.
