Fresh Amazing Marinara Sauce

This marinara sauce is a great alternative to the bottled stuff. You can also make an abundance and freeze it for convenience!

2 tsp olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups chopped plum tomatoes, with juices (i tend use whatever tomatoes i have)
7 oil packed sun dried tomatoes, chopped
salt/pepper to taste
2 Tbsp chopped basil

-Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute onions and garlic, stir frequently, until translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and juices, sun dried tomatoes, and salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have broken down, about 10 minutes. Stir in basil and remove from heat. Transfer to a food processor and pulse to form desired texture.

This is a great sauce to put over spaghetti squash, if you crave the carbs it can help with the reminiscent taste and texture of spaghetti.
