NOTE: This recipe is very low salt AND a fresh-style sauce. - if you want a
heartier, more "traditional" style sauce, you can let the tomatoes cook a
little longer and add salt at the end to taste if you are not on a
sodium restricted diet.
Heat Roasted Garlic Oil in a medium sized pan over medium high heat.
Add chopped tomatoes and sprinkle with both seasonings. Sauté for 5 minutes until tomatoes are soft and slightly broken down.
Remove from heat, divide into 4 equal portions and serve over your favorite pasta or pasta alternative. Garnish with fresh grated Parmesan if desired (make sure to count as a condiment if using.)

There are so many fun recipes to try. I love eating healthy and trying new recipes. And the spices are the best I've ever tasted. Love all of them that I have tried. I will be reordering.
