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: if i want to use this as a the basis for a meat sauce or chilli sauce i don't usually bother to peel the tomatoes, when i want a silky smooth sauce that runs beautifully i do peel them. you choose peel tomatoes by covering with boiling water in a bowl for 5 minutes if you want the"smooth" recipe. chop tomotoes into evenly sized pieces. heat olive oil and sauté garlic and onion until soft. add tomatoes, tomato pureé, basil, salt and pepper. simmer gently got 30-40 until it reduces a little. serve as is, or put in a blender until smooth. for chilli sauce, add 1/4-1/2 teaspoon chilli powder (to your preference) or fresh chillies. adding browned minced meat makes a nice easy sauce for over pasta.
