    2 carrots, 1 onion, 1 zucchini, 2 garlic cloves, 2 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, 1 teaspoon thyme

Notes

  1. You can add additional vegetables into the sauce if desired. I puree spinach in with the tomatoes before adding them to the sauce frequently.
  2. This sauce makes a large amount. You can split it and freeze half to use for later.
