How do you make homemade spaghetti sauce?
For a simple red sauce you can make at home, follow these steps:
- Cook 1 cup chopped onion in a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until the onion is tender.
- Add 4 to 5 peeled and chopped garlic cloves and cook for one more minute.
- Remove from heat and transfer the ingredients from the skillet to a blender and add two 28 ounce cans of crushed tomatoes, 1 to 2 tablespoons tomato paste, a teaspoon of dried basil, and a teaspoon of dried oregano. Pulse until you reach the desired consistency.
Vegan Hummus and Bean Dip Recipes
When it comes to the best vegan sauces, don’t forget hummus! I love having a great hummus recipe on hand to use as a condiment to spread on veggie burgers, sandwiches, and more. Alternatively, grab some chips or veggies and start dipping away!
There’s a lot of hummus recipes here and it’s a good thing because hummus is so versatile. You can use it in place of mayo on sandwiches and/or veggie burgers. Because hummus has protein, you can even use it as the main sandwich spread for your sandwich!
