Vegan MoFo Day 22 - Easy Vegan Spaghetti Sauce

This has to be the easiest and most basic tomato sauce for your pasta.  I absolutely love it.  I use my immersion blender on the tomatoes for a smooth sauce but you can just let the tomatoes break down while cooking.

Easy Vegan Spaghetti Sauce

28 ounces can of whole peeled tomatoes
4 tablespoons Earth Balance margarine
1 medium sweet onion
½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

Put the tomatoes in a sauce pan.  Use your immersion blender to make a smooth sauce.  Peel and cut the onion in half and add to the tomatoes.  Cut the margarine into 4 pieces.  Heat for 5 – 10 minutes on medium heat until the margarine melts.  Stir.  Lower the heat to low and keep the sauce at a slow simmer for at least 45 minutes.  Stir every ten minutes and crush the tomatoes in the pot with a wooden spoon if you didn’t puree the tomatoes first.   

Discard the onion and add the salt and pepper. 

Serve over your prepared pasta of choice.  I love it over angel hair pasta and pasta nuggets. 

It’s a very thin sauce.  If you like a thicker sauce, you may want to add a few tablespoons of tomato paste.
