Homemade Tomato Sauce (onion & garlic free)

The perfect healthier tomato sauce swap! Homemade tomato sauce is super easy to make, more nutritious than your standard store bought sauce & super yummy too!! I suffer from IBS (like many others) so having too many oligos (Oligo-saccharides) such as onions and garlic can make me flare up, and sometimes it’s nice to have a meal that I know will treat my tummy kindly! This recipe might not contain the classic ingredients but it’s just as tasty!!

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
