Fresh Vegetable Marinara Sauce

If you want to take a break from a heavier meat sauce, you should give this light and tasty vegetable marinara sauce a try.

Ingredients;

3 tbs olive oil

2 medium yellow summer squash, chopped

1 small eggplant, chopped

1 portabella mushroom cap, sliced

2 large cloves of garlic, minced

6 large Roma tomatoes, diced

1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped

Sea salt and pepper to taste

Crushed red pepper (optional)

Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan. Add all ingredients and cover. Stir often. When vegetables start to become tender and tomatoes start to soften, reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer covered for 45 minutes. Stir occasionally while the sauce is cooking. Once finished toss with your favorite pasta and serve.
