    Ingredients

    • Fresh Tomatoes
    • Yellow Onion
    • Unsalted Butter
    • Carrots
    • Fresh Basil
    • Sea Salt

    Instructions

    In a dutch oven or pot on the stovetop over medium heat add the tomatoes, onion, unsalted butter, carrots, basil and sea salt.

    Bring to a boil stirring occasionally and then let simmer for 30 minutes uncovered. Stir occasionally to combine the ingredients to make sure everything is cooking down evenly.

    Using an immersion blender in the post blend the ingredients until a smooth sauce forms. If you don't have an immersion blender you can carefully use a regular blender or food processor.

    Serve immediately over pasta or let cool to room temperature and store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 5 days.

    Hint: This sauce freezes really well. Use freezer safe containers or freezer safe bags and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    Supplies

    I get some of my ingredients from Thrive Market. Thrive Market has been a game changer for me eating gluten free. They have so many options I can’t get at my rural grocery stores! Use this link to get 25% off your first order!

    Storage

    Store this tomato pasta sauce in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

    This sauce freezes really well! Use freezer safe containers or bags. If you using bags I like to lay them flat on a baking sheet, freeze them and then stack them in my freezer to save space.

    FAQ

    What is the difference between tomato sauce and tomato pasta sauce?

    Tomato sauce is typically just pureed tomatoes without any added spices. Tomato sauce is best for recipes that you are going to add seasoning. Tomato pasta sauce already has spices added and is ready to use with pasta.

    How do I freeze tomato pasta sauce?

    Pour the sauce into freezer safe bags. Lay the bags evenly on a baking sheet and freeze them. Once the bags of tomato pasta sauce are frozen stack them in the freezer. This is great for conserving space in your freezer!
