Recipe by @thedishonhealthy ♥

Ingredients

• ¼ cup of extra virgin olive oil
• 1 white onion finely diced into squares
• 2 small shallots finely diced
• 2-3 cups of fresh cherry tomatoes!
• 2 cups of roasted red peppers sliced
• 2 cups of sliced zucchini
• 2 tablespoons of organic tomato paste
• 2 packed tablespoons of red pepper jelly
• 3 cloves of garlic, finely minced
• 1 tablespoon of agave syrup
• handful of fresh chopped oregano or basil
• Sea salt and black pepper to taste.

Cooking Directions

1. In a medium pot, warm up the olive oil and add the shallots, zucchini, roasted red peppers, onions and garlic, while stirring often. Tip: garlic burns easily. Add it towards the end, when the veggies are starting to soften.
2. In a medium bowl, add your tomatoes and use a potato masher or wooden spoon to break them up and extract those good juices. Add them to the pot you have on the stove with the veggies, garlic and shallots & stir.
3. Add the agave or honey, red pepper jelly, sea salt, pepper, and oregano. Add the tomato paste and stir well.
4. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and let it sit on the stove for about ~40 mins, stirring often. Pour over the cooked pasta of your choice.
