Ingredients
2 cans diced tomatoes1 t. Italian seasoning1 t. basil1 t. fennel seed1/2 to 1 t. crushed red pepper1 t. olive oil1 to 2 clove minced garlic1 T. brown sugar1/2 medium onion, diced
Put all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth then pour sauce mixture into a sauce pan. Cook uncovered on medium heat until sauce has reduced by half.
Makes about 2 cups, depending on how much you reduce the sauce. I usually have closer to 2-1/2 or 3 cups but that just means there are even less calories per serving than shown. Keeps nicely in a glass pint jar in the frig.
Note: you can substitute 8 fresh Roma tomatoes, skins removed, for the canned tomatoes. To remove the skin bring a pot of water to a boil then add the fresh whole tomatoes, allowing to cook for about 30 seconds. Remove tomatoes and rinse with cold water. The skins should be easy to peel after this. I usually then just use the same pot I boiled the water in to cook the sauce. If using fresh tomatoes or unsalted canned tomatoes you will need to add salt, about 1 to 2 teaspoons, to taste.
Makes 8 1/4-cup servings.
