Quick Easy Low Sodium Tomato Sauce

Here is a basic, tomato sauce for pasta and pizza. It will make about 3 2-person servings, which can be frozen in separate containers. Sodium per serving in this one, very low.

• 1 28-oz can diced or crushed tomatoes, no salt added
• 1/4 c finely diced onion
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 2-4 T olive oil
• fresh pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients except pepper in wide skillet. Simmer for 20-30 min, stirring occasionally. Season with pepper to taste. And . . . if you are yearning for a more spicy version, add another clove or two of garlic, or up the heat with a bit of chili oil, your favorite hot sauce, or a sprinkling of ground red chili.
