Sauteed Pasta Sauce

This robust Sauteed Pasta Sauce is a testament to the power of slow cooking. By gently simmering high-quality tomato puree and diced tomatoes with aromatic garlic, onion, and a blend of fresh basil, parsley, and oregano, this sauce develops a deep, complex flavor profile. The addition of a touch of fructose balances the natural acidity of the tomatoes, while the long cook time allows the vegetables to meld into a silky, cohesive texture. Serve it generously over quinoa pasta or traditional spaghetti for a comforting, vegan-friendly meal.
