Quick Homemade Italian Tomato Sauce

PREPARATION

Heat olive oil in a medium sauce pot over medium-high heat. Add carrots, onions, salt and pepper, and sauté until onions are translucent and carrots are softened. Add garlic and cook until garlic is lightly browned, about 2 minutes.

Turn heat up to high and pour crushed tomatoes into pan. Stir in basil. Bring to a simmer, stirring often. Stir in sugar and reduce heat to simmer, 5-7 minutes or until thickened.

Stir in parsley and continue to simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat to taste, and adjust salt as needed.
