Servings: 4
Each serving is 1/2 cup. 1 Starch Exchange. This came from Diabetes Forecast. I have not tried this, just posting for future use.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
1/2 cup minced fresh flat leaf parsley
28 ounces whole tomatoes with the juice
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 pinch sugar
3 tablespoons minced fresh basil
cooked pasta
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion, garlic, and carrot, and saute them very gently for 10-12 minutes, or until soft.
2. Add the parsley to the sauteed vegetables, and continue to cook for 2 more minutes. Add the tomatoes with the juice to a large bowl. Using your hands, crush the tomatoes coarsely.
3. Add the tomatoes to the skillet, and raise the heat to medium-high. Cook until the liquid evaporates, about 20 minutes, and the sauce looks thick. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar. Add in the basil, and cook for 1 minute.
4. Serve over cooked pasta.
