Ingredients
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.
