Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups (480 ml) canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup (240 ml) coconut cream or full fat coconut milk
- ¾ teaspoon sea salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper or to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika or regular paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder or to taste
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried basil and/or fresh chopped basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch or tapioca flour
- 2 teaspoons olive oil optional
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Equipment
Instructions
- Add the all ingredients to a nonstick saucepan and heat over high heat and set a timer for 4 minutes.
- Using a silicone whisk (to avoid scratching the saucepan), whisk the sauce until everything is well incorporated and there are no lumps.
- Let the sauce thicken, then whisk again.
- Once ready, serve over your favorite cooked pasta and enjoy! TIP: if you want the pasta to be ready in 5 minutes as well, use gnocchi since those only take 2 minutes to cook.
Notes
- TIP: To minimize the prep time, add the tomatoes, coconut cream, and cornstarch first, then add all other ingredients one by one while the sauce is already cooking. This way you won't have to assemble everything beforehand.
