My family is a very traditional Italian family who recently (well, 8 years ago) got into ff/lf veg dieting. We slimmed down many sauce recipies as well as reduced the acidity of the sauce. Enjoy!

Saute the diced tomatoes and diced onion in a little water for a 3-5 minutes. Add the spices, diced garlic, pepper and onion. Melt in the tomato paste and simmer for 15-20 minutes, it will cook down to a nice light sauce. Add more tomato paste if you want a thicker sauce. Add more tomatoes if you want a chunkier sauce.

I don't mean to be criptic with the measurements, my Grandmother taught me how to "sight cook" and I rarely use spoons or cups, if it smells good and the spices look evenly distributed, I'm happy.
