Delicious and nutritious - this recipe will make lots, so freeze it in appropriate serving sizes for another day. You'll never eat jar sauce again!

I like to serve this with gluten free pasta or better yet make it paleo friendly with zucchini noodles!

Keep in mind the serving size of the pasta should be no more than 1/3 of the plate the rest should be non-starchy veggies, such as a salad, broccoli, cauliflower....

Directions

1Place all ingredients in a large heavy bottomed pot

2Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer

3Let simmer for at least an hour up to 3 hours

4Blend until smooth with hand blender

5MEAT SAUCE: Cook meat separately in large frying pan add to sauce and simmer for an hour.

6VEGGIE SAUCE: Cook lentils separately, add to sauce and simmer for an hour.

7PIZZA SAUCE: Omit meat and lentils

Ingredients

4 x 28 ounce organic canned tomatoes

5.5 ounce can organic tomato paste

¼ cup fresh parmesan cheese

4 cloves garlic, whole

1 teaspoon dried oregano (or 1 tablespoon fresh)

1 teaspoon dried basil (or 1 tablespoon fresh)

1 teaspoon sugar (raw cane sugar or real maple syrup)

½ teaspoon sea salt

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more if you like it spicy)
