Ingredients

Scale

Sauce Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ⅓ cup tomato paste
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil: In a medium-sized skillet or saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the finely diced onion and minced garlic to the heated oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add Tomato Paste: Stir in ⅓ cup of tomato paste, cooking it for about 2 minutes to deepen its flavor, ensuring it coats the onions and garlic evenly.
  4. Incorporate Liquids and Seasonings: Pour in 1 cup of low-sodium chicken stock and the entire 15-ounce can of diced tomatoes. Stir well to combine. Add 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Simmer the Sauce: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook uncovered for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to reduce slightly.
  6. Finish with Cream: Reduce heat to low and stir in ⅓ cup heavy cream until fully incorporated. Cook for another 2 minutes, making sure the sauce is heated through but not boiling.
  7. Serve: Pour the warm sauce over cooked ravioli or your preferred pasta. Garnish as desired and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use low-sodium chicken stock to better control the saltiness of the sauce.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken stock with vegetable broth.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes based on your taste.
  • If you prefer a smoother sauce, blend it briefly before adding the cream.
  • This sauce can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
