Made this to go with my zucchini noodles! Perfect for keto!
Subbed in 1 Tablespoon soy sauce for the salt and added 2 Tablespoons of Vietnamese fish sauce. Both ingredients added a depth of flavor to the sauce, sending it over the top.
Hi Susan, that sounds fantastic! love all the umami you added.
Really great tomato sauce! It’s really flavorful with extra garlic powder. And so much cheaper to make it.
Did you use 2 teaspoons of each of the dried herbs?
Hi Kerry, we just used a mix of the dried herbs. So a total of 2 teaspoons of what ever herb or combination of herbs that you like. Thanks so much for asking!
So is one serving a 1/2 cup for 82 calories? From what information I could glean from this recipe–makes 4 cups and 8 servings–that’s what it appears to say. If so, that’s only 18 calories less per 1/2 cup serving than RAOS’s marinara, so not a big savings in calories. Just cheaper and if you have a ton of tomatoes to use up, then worthwhile. Which I do. 🙂
So easy and delicious! Definitely a keeper! Cannot recommend highly enough!
Thanks so much Terri!
