Simple Spaghetti Marinara. Plant Perfect!! #vegan #oilfree

We have a wonderful and growing Plant Based Nutrition Support Group here in the Detroit area. At the meeting on Wednesday night, some of the participants were asking about recipes. The emphasis was on making it simple and something the kids would also enjoy without twisting their arm.
So here's one for spaghetti.  There are only 6 ingredients.  The prep time is about 7 minutes (if you are as slow as I am) and it cooks ready to serve in 30 minutes.  You will have lots of extra sauce. I'm planning on a simple pizza with no oil or cheese with the rest of it.

Simple Spaghetti

2 cans of tomato sauce 28 oz can size
1 can of tomato paste 12 oz can size
1 large sweet onion chopped
4 cloves of garlic chopped
2 TBSP of oregano
1 TBSP of Sweet Basil

     In a large pot bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the onion and garlic. Let it boil until the onions become clear. Add the Basil and Oregano. Add the tomato sauce and paste. Bring it to a simmer, cover and reduce the heat for 30 minutes.  
     You can add salt and pepper to taste.


You can add a little parsley garnish for color.  This happens to be over Barilla whole grain pasta, but for the kids I would use the regular noodles; the one without egg. Pretty easy and fast!  Enjoy!
