Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 cups Crushed tomatoes (canned or fresh)
• 1 cup Unsweetened coconut milk (from a can)
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion to the saucepan and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes soft and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

Pour the crushed tomatoes into the saucepan and stir to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.

Step 5

Add the tomato paste, unsweetened coconut milk, and nutritional yeast. Mix well to create a smooth and creamy consistency.

Step 6

Stir in the maple syrup, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. If you’d like a bit of heat, add red pepper flakes.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 9

Once cooked, blend the sauce using an immersion blender for a silky texture, or leave as-is for a chunkier sauce.

Step 10

Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, rice, or vegetable dish, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
