Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 large white onion
6 garlic cloves
4 tablespoons olive oil
18 sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup water or 1 cup vegetable broth
1 pinch sea salt
2 tablespoons basil (use more if fresh)
2 tablespoons italian seasoning
1 pinch artificial sweetener (sugar works, if you're not a vegan)
red pepper flakes

Steps:

Place first three ingredients into food processor and "chop" roughly. Set aside.
Boil tomatoes in water (or broth) in a shallow pan.
When tomatoes have softened, add them and any remaining liquid to the food processor and puree.
Add remaining 5 ingredients to tomato puree and stir.
Pour garlic-onion mixture into processor with tomato and puree to desired consistancy. This makes a thick, rich and slightly spicy sauce!
