Homemade and healthy pasta / pizza-sauce

Since I posted a recipe for a pizza dough last week I figured I'd make a healthy and delicious sauce for on your pizza or pasta. This sauce is purely made out of vegetables and some seasoning, so no worries about your diet!:)

What you're going to need:

  • 2 cans of diced tomatoes (400 grams each)
  • 2 red onions
  • 6 cloves of garlic
  • 2-3 tsp of dries Italian herbs (I prefer to use fresh herbs but I only had dried herbs this time, but it works as well)
  • 3-4 tsp of honey 
  • salt and pepper for seasoning
Instructions:

  1. Chop up the onions and garlic finely
  2. Heat up some olive oil in a sauce pan and fry the onions until soft (5-8 minutes) on a low heat
  3. Add some more olive oil and add the garlic and stir
  4. Add a pinch of the Italian herbs and stir again
  5. Let this simmer for another 5 minutes
  6. Into a large measuring cup, add the diced tomatoes and blend  until smooth
  7. Add the blended tomatoes to the sauce pan and stir
  8. Add the Italian herbs, salt and pepper, stir and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes
  9. Taste the sauce, if the sauce is too sour, add honey to your personal preference
  10. Stir and let it simmer for another 5 minutes

Well, there you go! A pizza and pasta sauce, without added sugar and made out of only vegetables and seasoning! 

I used this sauce for a yummy panini today, the only thing you'll need for one panini is two slices of bread, butter, some cheese and a few tablespoons of the sauce. Spread the butter on the outside of the bread then turn the bread around and add the sauce and the cheese, grill for about 5 minutes and you have a delicious and quick lunch or snack!
