Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 medium carrots, shredded
  • 1/8 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 6 ounce tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a stock pot, heat up the olive oil.  Add in the garlic and the carrots and cook for about 3-4 minutes, making sure not to burn the garlic.  Add in the tomato paste and cook for another minute.  Add in remaining ingredients, put the stove on medium low, pop a lid on the pot and let it cook for 20 minutes.
    Using a stick blender, puree the sauce and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.  If you don't like it spicy, just leave out the crushed red pepper.
