Be the first to rate this recipe

Ingredients

  • 42 ounces peeled San Marzano tomatoes (28 oz and 14 oz cans)
  • 1 sweet onion, diced finely and caramelized
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons oregano leaves
  • 2 tablespoons basil leaves
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup EVOO

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the onions in a small amount of hot oil. Near the end, add the garlic to lightly brown.
  2. Pour the contents of the tomato cans into a food processor.
  3. Add the spices, the oil, and the onions and garlic.
  4. Process the mixture to puree consistency.
  5. Can be used in dishes as is. I line the bottom of pans for (low carb crepe-based) manicotti, or use for layering with "low carb crepe-based lasagne), or heating for a few minutes with cooked (garbanzo-based) pastas.
  6. The before-cooking, crepe-based manicotti are shown in the picture, because an image of sauce alone was just too boring.
