This marinara sauce is bursting with flavour. Use it in pasta recipes, lasagnas, with vegan meatballs, in vegan meatball sub sandwich, on pizza or anywhere else your heart desires.
Ingredients
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) olive oil
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 800 g (2 cans) peeled crushed or diced tomatoes
- 120 ml (1/2 cup) vegan red wine I used Chianti Classico by Cecchi 2018
- 1 tsp chopped fresh oregano
- 5 ml (1 tsp) maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 7 g (1 1/2 tbsp) nutritional yeast I used fortified with B12
- 4 tsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp roughly chopped fresh basil
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a pot. Add chilli flakes and toast them.
- Lower the heat and add diced tomatoes and wine. Increase the heat and wait for it to boil, then add oregano, maple syrup and salt.
- Again lower the heat to medium and cook uncovered until the sauce thickens. Mine took about 30 min.
- Add nutritional yeast, tomato paste and chopped basil. Cook for 1 min more then turn off the heat.
Notes
*Add basil in the last minute of cooking so that it doesn’t lose the flavour when it’s exposed to heat for too long.
*Use fresh not dried oregano and basil for the best taste.
*Constructed with tips from the Minimalist Baker.
