Whole30 & Paleo alla Vodka Sauce
A clean Italian sauce made of cooked garlic, mixed into San Marzano tomatoes, and simmered with basil and coconut cream.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1/2 Tbs olive oil
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1.5 Tbs minced garlic (this was from 4 cloves for me)
- one 28 ounce can San Marzano Peeled Tomatoes
- 2 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 cup canned coconut cream (without preservatives) Savoy is my go-to
Instructions
- Heat 1/2 Tbs olive oil over medium heat in a sauté pan. Once the oil is hot, add the 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes and 1.5 Tbs minced garlic, mix and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and tender.
- Add the San Marzano peeled tomatoes, 2 tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp onion powder to the pan. Mix, while breaking the tomatoes up into smaller pieces and then let the sauce simmer for 15 minutes. (If the sauce isn't bubbling, increase the heat, then lower it back down to medium to let it simmer).
- Add the coconut cream to the pan, mix, and let everything simmer for 5 minutes.
- Serve over zoodles, or sweet potato noodles. This sauce is also great on top of grilled chicken.
