Besides fresh tomatoes, this recipe calls for sun-dried tomatoes to be pureed into the sauce. According to blogger Angela of Oh She Glows, this makes a rich, creamy sauce with concentrated flavor. This recipe makes only 1 1/4 cups of sauce so Angela suggests doubling it.
Ingredients:
FOR THE SAUCE (MAKES 1 + 1/4 CUPS):
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 large sweet onion or 1 small yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup)
2 large garlic cloves, minced
3 large tomatoes, seeded and diced (about 3 cups diced)
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, minced
1/4 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes (about 6)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4-1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
red pepper flakes, to taste (optional)
FOR THE NOODLES:
1 medium zucchini, spiralized or julienned or 1 serving cooked pasta or 1/2 cooked spaghetti squash
