Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup diced onion
6 garlic cloves
28 ounces diced fire roasted tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup basil leaves, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 zucchini
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Directions

1

Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Add in the tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes, then stir to combine. Continue cooking until the sauce reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium-low and continue to let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the oil on the surface is a deep orange and the sauce is reduced and thickened. Taste, and season the sauce with additional salt and pepper if needed.
