Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create this mouthwatering sauce:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans (14.5 oz each) diced tomatoes, no salt added
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon sugar (to cut the acidity)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)

Let’s Get Cooking!

Now that you’ve rounded up your ingredients, let’s hit the kitchen and make some magic happen!

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once it’s warm and cozy, toss in the chopped onion. Sauté it for about 5-7 minutes, or until it’s soft and translucent. Don’t let it burn; we want flavor, not charcoal!
Add in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute. Beware—garlic has a way of taking over any dance floor, so keep an eye on it!
Dump those diced tomatoes into the pan. Trust me, it’s about to get saucy! Stir in the dried basil, oregano, sugar, and black pepper. Feel free to get a little dramatic with your stirring – it’s all part of the fun!
Let everything simmer for about 20-30 minutes. This is the time to make sure you taste test because we need to adjust flavors. A pinch more basil? A little kick of pepper? Get creative!
If you want to add that delightful tang, splash in some balsamic vinegar right before you’re done. Give it one last stir, and voilà! Your low sodium tomato sauce is ready to rock and roll!

Use this glorious sauce on pasta, pizza, or whatever strikes your fancy. Pair it with a late-night Netflix binge, and you’ve got yourself the perfect foodie night! Enjoy!
