Low Fat Super Low-fat Tomato Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

1 33 1/3-ounce can plum tomatoes, undrained

1 small onion (1/2 cup), peeled and diced

1 clove garlic (1 to 2 cloves), finely chopped

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes (1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon)

Salt, to taste

Method

Prepare pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, combine

remaining ingredients in a 2-quart saucepan and heat to boiling.

Reduce heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, approximately 10-20

minutes. In a food processor or blender, purée small quantities of the sauce to

desired consistency, using 3 to 4 quick on-off motions for a chunky sauce, longer

for a smoother sauce.

When pasta is done, drain. Pour sauce over pasta and serve immediately.
