Description:
Every cook needs a good recipe for marinara sauce. This one can be prepared in less than an hour and used in many ways. It is traditionally served over pasta, but is equally delicious with polenta or rice. It also makes a wonderful sauce for grilled vegetables or baked tempeh or tofu. We don't need to remind you that tomatoes cooked with oil provide a source of lycopene, one of the carotenes linked to protection from prostate cancer.
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 medium onions, chopped 1 medium carrot, peeled and finely grated 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste 1 large can (28 ounces) Italian tomatoes, crushed 1 large can (12 ounces) tomato paste 1 teaspoon sugar (optional) 1 bay leaf 2 tablespoons dried whole basil 1 teaspoon dried whole oregano Pinch fennel seeds 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice 4 cloves garlic, chopped
Directions: 1. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or saucepan (do not use cast iron or aluminum) over medium-high heat. Add the onions and carrot; sauté until the onions are translucent.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and stir well. Bring just to a boil, lower heat, and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes or until desired thickness. Remove the bay leaf.
3. Serve with your favorite pasta or polenta.

 Breakfast Fast Food | Fast food breakfasts can be killers. According to our dietitian, some egg and sausage biscuit meals contain as many as 600 calories and 40 grams of fat! An English muffin with egg and Canadian bacon, although not "lite", is clearly a better option. It has about 385 calories and 20 grams of fat. In either case, try for balance in the rest of your day and week. Include plenty of fruit, vegetables and physical activity. |
