Introduction

What? Canned tomatoes in a tomato sauce? Yes, that's right. Garden tomatoes are only available for a short time, but crushed canned tomatoes are on shelves year-round and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
1 small onion, grated (about 1/2 cup)
1 medium zucchini, grated (about 1 cup)
1 clove garlic, grated
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch red pepper flakes
2 (14.5 ounce) cans no salt added crushed tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons fresh basil, shredded
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper



Directions

Grate the vegetables using a box grater or the shredding attachment of a food processor.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large saucepan set over medium heat. Add the onion and zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, for three to four minutes.
Add the garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes, stir to combine, and cook another two minutes.
Add the tomatoes and sugar, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat, stir in the basil, black pepper, and remaining teaspoon of oil.


Serving Size: Makes 4 cups, one cup per serving.
