Easy Vegetarian Pasta Sauce Recipe by Jeanette Marcoaldi

This vegetarian homemade pasta sauce recipe is based on top quality ingredients. It not only helps the dish to taste as well as it does, but also provides the greatest health benefits.

EASY VEGETARIAN PASTA SAUCE

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp cold pressed olive oil

2 crushed cloves organic garlic

2 14.5oz cans fire roasted crushed organic tomatoes

¼ cup white wine (Riesling)

1 tsp honey

½ tsp dried organic sweet basil

Cracked salt and pepper to taste

Method:

In a medium saucepan, gently sauté garlic in the olive oil until softened. Add crushed tomatoes and stir. Then add all the remaining ingredients. Stir well, cover and bring to a boil on med-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Cook the accompanying pasta of choice. Ladle the sauce over the pasta and serve with freshly grated Parmesan.

Serves 4-6

I would like to recommend De Boles Natural Gourmet Pasta Linguine to go with this recipe. The DeBoles brand is the best-packaged pasta I've ever tasted and has been selected by CHEFS IN AMERICA as AMERICA'S BEST. A tip when cooking pasta is to not add salt to it, as it tends to turn a lovely pure product into something that tastes more like seaweed. There is adequate salt in the sauce and the Parmesan cheese to enhance the flavor of the overall dish.

This Easy Vegetarian Pasta Sauce dish tastes like a top chef prepared it, but is easy enough for a novice cook to make. It's also a healthy, vegetarian alternative for an evening meal.
