Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium carrot, finely grated
• 1 medium celery stalk, finely chopped
• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes (no added sugar)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 piece bay leaf
• 0.5 cup low-sodium vegetable broth (or water)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to warm up for a few seconds.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the grated carrot and chopped celery. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables soften slightly.

Step 4

Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and vegetable broth (or water) to the pan. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Mix in the dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes (if using), bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and let the sauce simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.

Step 7

Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if necessary. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 8

Serve the spaghetti sauce over cooked whole-grain pasta or zoodles, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
