I say replace sugar with carrots in any tomato recipe. Additional veggies are a sneaky way to get them into the kids. Add olive oil near end of cooking to preserve its flavor.

Ingredients

1 green bell pepper , coarsely chopped - or more to taste
0.25 cups coarsely chopped carrot
6 cloves garlic , peeled
1 can tomato puree , 29 ounce
1 can crushed tomatoes , 28 ounce
1 tablespoon dried Italian herb seasoning
1 teaspoon dried basil
0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1

Place green bell pepper, carrot, and garlic cloves into a food processor and pulse a few times until the vegetables are very finely chopped.
2

Transfer chopped vegetables into a large saucepan. Stir in tomato puree, crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, basil, and red pepper flakes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until sauce has thickened, about 30 minutes. Stir in olive oil and simmer 1 to 2 more minutes. Sauce may be refrigerated up to 1 week.
