#vegetarian #vegan
Ingredients
1 medium yellow or white onion
2–14.5 oz (411g) cans of diced tomatoes
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Italian seasoning
¼ tsp garlic powder
½ Tbsp granulated sugar
Salt & pepper, to taste
- I like my pasta sauce on the chunky side, however, if you like a smooth sauce I recommend either blending the sauce or using crushed tomatoes instead of diced tomatoes.
- If you want a little added spice, add about ¼ tsp of red pepper flakes.

Cooking Steps
Prep Ingredients
Roughly dice 1 medium yellow or white onion.
Cook Onion
In a medium pot over medium heat, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil. Once shimmering, add in diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned about 3-4 min.
Once the onion is lightly browned, add in 2–14.5 oz cans of diced tomatoes. Cook over medium heat for 3 min., stirring occasionally.
Add in Seasonings
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add 1 tsp Italian seasoning, ¼ tsp garlic powder, ½ Tbsp granulated sugar, and salt & pepper to taste.
Let simmer over medium-low for about 4-5 min, stirring occasionally. Serve or blend for a smoother consistency.
