Forget high fat, creamy tomato sauce. You can create your own healthful version in minutes. It's super creamy and bursting with the bright flavor of fresh basil.

Ingredients

Olive oil

1 tsp

Uncooked leeks

1 medium, finely chopped (white part only)

Garlic

1 clove(s), minced

Dried oregano

½ tsp

Canned diced tomatoes

28 oz

Fat free evaporated milk

6 fl oz

Fresh basil

2 Tbsp, fresh, finely chopped

Table salt

⅛ tsp, or more to taste

Black pepper

⅛ tsp, freshly ground, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add leek and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in oregano; cook 45 seconds. Add tomatoes and bring to a simmer; partially cover pan and simmer 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. Puree sauce in pan using an immersion blender. Or working in batches, transfer tomato mixture to a blender and puree until smooth (careful not to splatter hot liquid); return pureed tomato mixture to pan.
  3. Set pan over low heat and add milk; simmer 1 minute to heat through. Remove pan from heat and stir in basil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Yields about 3/4 cup per serving.

Notes

Serve over pasta, polenta, an omelet or frittata.
