Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_sodium'], recipe: heat the olive oil in a large pot, and saute the onions and green pepper until soft. add the garlic and saute another minute or two. coarsely chop the fresh tomatoes, add them to the pot and cook, stirring, until they begin to give up their juice. coarsely chop the canned tomatoes and add them, along with the tomato sauce and tomato past. stir in the seasonings, cover the pot and simmer the sauce over low heat 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. the contadina tomato sauce and paste have significantly better flavor than any others i know of. if you can't get contadina, then a small shake of tabasco will help (not enough to make it hot, just enough to give it a little sparkle).

Target recipe: heat some olive oil (one or two tbs) on medium-low heat. add finely chopped onions until soft but not golden. then add one can of tomatoes (peeled), or 4 or 5 peeled fresh tomatoes, diced. season with salt, pepper, and herbs (basil, oregano, thyme -- you can use italian seasoning). add one teaspoonful of sugar (to take off the acidity of tomatoes) and add one or two cloves of garlic, finely chopped. let it simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, covered, then blend it thoroughly (you can do that in the saucepan with the appropriate blender), and let it simmer for at least 30 more minutes.
