Since I began attempting to eat a diet that is added fat/oil free, I have been amazed at all the products that contain oil when it really isn't necessary. At 120 calories per tablespoon, the amount of hidden oil in what you eat each day really adds up - probably enough to cancel out the hour you worked out at the gym! Oil, even olive oil, is damaging to the endothelial cells which line your arteries. After searching for an oil-free marinara sauce to keep in my pantry, I gave up and made my own. I keep some in the fridge for pizza and or tossing with veggies and pasta, and freeze containers of sauce for later.
Saute onions and garlic in vegetable broth
Add a good quality organic tomato paste and water (proportion 3 water to 1 paste)
Add a good quality organic tomato sauce or puree
Add fresh herbs - basil, parsley, oregano (dried herbs is okay too)
Add fresh ground black pepper
Simmer until done
Finish with sea salt to taste
