How To Make meatless spaghetti sauce

  • 1
    In a large pot over medium, heat oil before adding white onions and red peppers; season with salt. Sauté the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • 2
    Add pressed garlic and sauté it for only 1 minute.
  • 3
    Add the remaining ingredients, stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • 4
    Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. To prevent the tomato sauce from splashing everywhere, place the lid slightly ajar.
