Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons Garlic-Infused Oil, made with olive oil or the prepared equivalent, such as FODY Foods Garlic-Infused Olive Oil
- 1 cup (64 g) chopped scallions, green parts only
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- Pinch hot pepper flakes, optional
- 2, 28- ounce (793 g) cans diced tomatoes; we like Muir Glen Fire Roasted and San Marzano Diced Tomatoes
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Preparation:
-
Heat the garlic-infused olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add scallions and sauté until softened, just a minute or two. Stir in oregano and red pepper flakes, if using.
-
Add the tomatoes and all their juice and season well with salt and pepper. Cover, and adjust heat to simmer for about 20 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring once or twice. If you want a thicker sauce, only partially cover, but watch splattering!
-
Sauce is ready to use or cool, place in airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
Notes:
Tips
- If using to top spaghetti or linguine, simply add some of the pasta cooking water to the sauce. The starch from the pasta will be in the water and will help thicken the sauce, and also help it better adhere to the pasta. Don’t overdue it. Just add a tablespoon at a time and go by eye to assess sauce’s texture.
If You Can Tolerate
Fructans:
- If you have passed the garlic fructan Challenge, by all means sauté a clove or two of chopped garlic along with the scallion greens.
- If you have passed the onion fructan Challenge, sauté 1 cup of chopped yellow or white onion in the olive oil in lieu of the scallion greens.
