Made with canned tomatoes and dried spices, this Low FODMAP Marinara Sauce is as easy as recipes get! Serve with your favorite gluten-free pasta.
I think I’ve figured out the reason I’ve been a reluctant blogger lately. I actually LOVE creating content: developing recipes, photographing them, creating graphics, and writing. There are no issues doing all that. The problem comes when I have to hit the “publish” button. It’s tough putting yourself and what you create out there. The more popular my blog got, the more I didn’t want to do it anymore. The more people see my content, the more subject I am to criticism, and that gives me so much anxiety. I go weeks without checking my blog email because I have so much anxiety over it. Most of the feedback I get is overwhelmingly positive, but it’s only human to fixate on on the negative, and that’s what I have a tendency to do.
All I can say is that I’m working on it. Creating recipes is a part of who I am now and I don’t think I will ever stop doing that, but the urge to share my creations comes and goes. I’ve been thinking about making it a goal to publish a new recipe every Thursday to keep me motivated and focused. It’s not a promise, but it’s something that might help me get over my anxieties. I would also love to give my blog a makeover, so that might be in the works too. We will see!
The Low FODMAP Marinara Sauce Recipe
Well, you are in luck, because I had the urge share with you today. I came up with this easy and inexpensive way to make your own marinara sauce. This Low FODMAP Marinara Sauce recipe has tons of flavor, despite being onion-free and garlic-free. It’s made with items that you probably already have in your pantry and fridge. Even the garlic oil and tomato paste are optional if you don’t happen to have any on hand. I just like to add those two ingredients because it adds a little extra depth and flavor. Let’s face it, sometimes a big bowl of pasta is just what you need. Carbs for the win!

Low FODMAP Marinara Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 28 oz. can whole peeled tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional)
- 1 tablespoon FODY Garlic-Infused Oil (optional)
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper or red pepper flakes
- chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Pour the tomatoes along with the juices into a large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon (be careful with this step as the tomatoes tend to burst all over!).
- Bring to a simmer and stir in the tomato paste, garlic-infused oil, sugar, basil, oregano, salt and pepper.
- Reduce heat and simmer 30 to 45 minutes, until thickened and reduced. Toss with your favorite gluten-free pasta, and sprinkle parsley and Parmesan cheese on top if desired.

I don't know how much of a difference it makes but I sometimes have the same issue with posting things to my blog or for friends. Sometimes it's just nice to know that you're not alone with that anxiety so hugs to you!
Dianne your writing and recipes are both great!
Thanks! It does help to know I'm not alone feeling this way. Hugs to you too!
Thank you! That's so good to hear!
Your recipes are fantastic! Please keep blogging!
Thank you for the encouragement! 🙂
I give the tomatoes a few buzzes in the food processor before I put them in the pan, it's another pot to clean but no bursting!
Great idea!
Not having ready made pasta sauce for a quick dinner has been one of the trickiest parts of going low FODMAP. Doubled this recipe and froze half so I could have some on hand. Might triple it next time!
Great idea to make ahead and freeze!
I made this recipe with yellow tomatoes to cut down on acid, it was still good!
