"This is made with canned tomatoes but for the very best flavor you must make certain to use top-quality Italian imported tomates and I strongly suggest to make this sauce 1-2 days ahead to allow the flavors to intensify.... 1 cup = 90 Calories with 1.8 grams fat.

Step 1

Saute onions and carrots in oil over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes, until soft. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Add crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, salt and pepper and simmer partially covered 1 to 1 1/4 hours on low heat, seasoning with more salt and pepper halfway through cooking time.

Step 2

Add fresh basil last 10 minutes (herbs will become bitter if cooked more than 20 minutes).

Step 3

Taste the sauce for acidity, if sauce is a bit tangy (acidic) then add 1 tbsp of sugar or for a calorie free way to cut the acidity in the sauce add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Any remaining sauce will freeze well.
