Ingredients
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut oil
  • ¼ small red onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 24 ounces tomato sauce
  • salt and pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • fresh basil (or other fresh Italian herbs), optional
Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan (large saucepan if you are doubling or tripling the recipe) sauté the red onion and garlic in the coconut oil for 1 minute on medium heat
  2. Add the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning and olive oil and simmer on low for 15 minutes
  3. Serve on top of zoodles (Spiralized zucchini noodles), with Spaghetti squash spaghetti and spaghetti and meatloaf meatballs
  4. If you are serving it on top of zoodles and want to make it a meat sauce for more protein, which I always recommend, add 1 pound of browned grass fed ground beef
