a simple real food recipe :: real food “spaghetti – o’s”
Author: Renee - www.theSIMPLEmoms.com
Ingredients
1 small onion, coarsely chopped
2 carrots, coarsely chopped
1 stalks celery, coarsely chopped
2 large cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 TB organic tomato paste
3 – 15oz can organic tomato sauce
Optional tablespoons of sucanant, pure cane sugar, or honey to take the acid bite away from the tomato – I only did about a TB. If your kids need it sweeter go for it. KEEP IN MIND – the longer you sauté those veggies in the beginning, the sweeter they become and you don’t need much sweetener ;)
½ cup of starchy pasta water from cooking the pasta
1 – 16oz bag gluten free pasta (watch those ingredients!)
Instructions
Cook off your noodles while you prepare the sauce.
In a large sauce pan, sauté the onion, carrot, and celery in 3-4 TB friendly fat (butter or coconut oil) with a few pinches of salt, over medium heat, for about 10 minutes until soft and sweet.
Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook for a minute or 2.
Add the tomato sauce, and bring to a low simmer for about 10 minutes.
Add the water to the sauce and use an immersion blender (or put in a regular blender) and puree the sauce. You could add more water if you want a runnier sauce.
Add the noodles to the sauce and combine.
