If you’re looking for a super flavourful pasta sauce without garlic and onion, then look no further. This is the best low FODMAP pasta sauce!
As registered dietitians who specialize in the low FODMAP diet we know that low FODMAP tomato sauce or pasta sauce without garlic and onion can be so hard to find (especially in Canada).
This homemade low FODMAP marinara sauce without garlic and onion is the perfect alternative to high FODMAP, highly salted, store bought tomato-based sauces. Canned tomatoes themselves are only high in FODMAPs in portions greater than 1 cup, so we do suggest limiting this tomato sauce to no more than 1 cup per serving.
How to make pasta sauce without onions and garlic?
This homemade low FODMAP pasta sauce without garlic and onion is so simple. It just involves two cans of tomatoes, two chopped vegetables, spices, and low FODMAP-safe garlic-infused olive oil. Best of all? It’s easy to batch prep and freezes beautifully.
How do you make garlic low FODMAP?
Garlic-infused olive oil has been labelled safe for individuals following a low FODMAP diet. Since the high FODMAP component of garlic and onions are water soluble and will not leach out into the olive oil.
Does homemade pasta sauce freeze well?
An added bonus of this homemade low FODMAP pasta sauce without garlic and onion is that it freezes perfectly! I don’t know about you, but that is always a deciding factor on trying a new recipe! What I love to do is freeze the sauce in smaller containers, as it makes thawing the sauce on those busy days a lot more efficient and easier. You can place it in the fridge to thaw the night before, or simply defrost a container for 5 minutes in the microwave before preheating it on the stove.
Feel free to use this homemade low FODMAP pasta sauce without garlic and onion on your favourite pasta. We especially love it with our Low FODMAP Chicken Pasta Casserole recipe. It’s also great on homemade pizza!
