Garden Style Pasta Sauce

A quick and delicious dinner idea!

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/2 small Vidalia onion, finely chopped

1/2 Zucchini, peeled and chopped into 1" pieces

1 can Muir Glen Organic Fire Roasted Tomatoes*

1 can Muir Glen Organic Tomato Paste

1 cup of Water

1 teaspoon of minced Garlic

1/2 teaspoon of Basil

1/2 teaspoon of Sea Salt

1/4 teaspoon of Oregano

1/4 teaspoon of Ground Pepper

 

Also needed: 1 box of whole wheat pasta, cooked according to the directions

 

Directions:

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil until it becomes runny. Throw in the chopped onion and zucchini, gently fry them until the onions go clear. Next put in the tomato paste, and stir in the water slowly until the paste thins. Now add the can of fire roasted tomatoes and all the spices. Allow to simmer for 10 mins over a low heat. This is a great time to complete your whole wheat pasta. Serve together and enjoy!

*Don't let the title 'Fire Roasted' intimidate you, these are not spicy, they've just been roasted over an open flame. Yum!
