From Kristi's Kitchen

29 oz. tomato puree

14 oz. diced tomatoes with juice

1 1/2 tsp. dried basil

1 1/2 tsp. sea salt 

1 tsp. dried oregano

3/4 tsp. onion powder

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tbsp. coconut palm crystals

2 tbsp. organic unsalted butter

1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

-Combine all ingredients

-Bring to a slow boil and simmer for at least 20-30 minutes

Serve over brown rice pasta or spelt pasta, julienned zucchini or roasted spaghetti squash...use as pizza sauce or the tomato component to a parma rosa sauce.

This is so simple - if you are like me it will become your go to italian starter -kind of like the "roux" of my italian cooking...

Enjoy!
