Fresh Marinara


I made this batch and froze 1 cup portions in the freezer. It tastes just like the fresh marinara I had when I was in Italy!

You'll need:

Fresh basil, a handful (0 PTS)
1 green pepper (cored) (0 PTS)
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil (7 PTS)
1 32 oz. canned whole San Marzano tomatoes (2.5 PTS)
3 cloves garlic clove (0 PTS)
1 small onion (0 PTS)
1 carrot, peeled (0 PTS)
1 cup fat-free chicken broth (0 PTS)
salt & pepper to taste

Blend everything in a blender or food processor. Season to taste. If it seems too runny, you can add a tablespoon of tomato paste and blend again. (1 Tbsp. = 0 PTS). Cool completely before portioning out in Ziploc freezer bags. Yields about 4 bags @ 2 PTS a bag.
