PUTTANESCA SAUCE
For the sauce:
– 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
– 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
– 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
– 1/2 cup kalamata olives, rinsed
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add some avocado oil (or olive oil) to coat the pan, then add the onion. Sauté about 5 minutes till translucent, then add the garlic and paprika. Sauté another minute or two, then add the cherry tomatoes. Sauté a few minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften, then add the canned tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then simmer about 15 minutes, or until the liquid reduces to a thick sauce consistency, stirring frequently. Add in the olives, stir to incorporate, and top with sliced fresh basil.
