Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 1/4 cups zucchini, sliced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 can (8 ounces) low-sodium tomato sauce
1 can (6 ounces) low-sodium tomato paste
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 cup water
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before beginning preparation.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, approximately 1 minute.
Add the chopped onions, garlic, and sliced zucchini to the hot oil. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.
Stir in the dried oregano and basil, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, chopped fresh tomatoes, and water, stirring well to combine all ingredients.
Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should be rich, thick, and deeply flavored.
Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Serve the sauce over cooked pasta of your choice.
