This is a recipe of my sister who has a great love for Italy, seeing as her and her husband lived there for 3 years. I never copied down the exact recipe, but I think I do it justice. It tastes a lot like A La Vodka sauce, without the cream so it’s Vegan friendly, however while I was living with Caitlin she started making it with cheese tortellini and it’s awesome! I have also used this sauce to top Egg Plant Parmesan which I will hopefully post soon. You have to double this recipe though to have enough for the EggParm.

Let onions and garlic sweat for about 15 minutes, until soft.
Drain a can of diced tomatoes, add to onion mixture.
