I use this sauce for one of my favourite dishes, spaghetti meatballs. I like chunky sauces and adding fresh herbs from the garden makes it all the more flavoursome. Tomatoes are known for their outstanding antioxidant content, packed full of nutrients. Being relatively high in water content, they provide hydration as well as make them a filling food.
Spaghetti Pasta Basil Sauce
4 tomatoes
1 cup sundried tomato
1 medijool date
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup fresh basil
1 TBS nutritional yeast
2 TBS olive oil
1/4 cup pitted olives
1. In a blender combine the ingredients for the pasta sauce, blend on med so everything has broken down but not completely mashed
2. Put into a pot and bring to boil, then simmer for 10 mins. The tomatoes are watery so to make the sauce thicker when you transfer it into the pot, carefully pour away the watery bit first so you're left with a thicker chunkier sauce
