Preparation

Step 1

Saute onions with garlic in a small saucepan for a few minutes.

Combine tomatoes, tomato paste, & onion-garlic mixture in Vita Mix. Turn on machine & quickly increase speed to #5 or #6. Run for 5 seconds or until chunky.

Pour in saucepan. Add seasonings & simmer for 30 minutes. Stir frequently. Remove bay leaf.

Serve over cooked spaghetti.

NOTE: To zone without eating unfavorable carbs, do not serve over spaghetti. I usually saute some zucchini in olive oil & seasonings then place 2 cups zucchini on my plate, top with 4 1/2 oz. cooked ground turkey (to be exact with protein block, weigh turkey when raw. If weighing after turkey is cooked, measure out somewhere around 3 1/2 oz instead of 4 1/2 oz.)& top with about 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce.
