Sizzle Spray is designed for high-heat cooking, making it perfect for sautéing aromatics like garlic and onions. Its fine mist ensures even coating, so you use less oil without sacrificing taste. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned cook, this quick sauce will become a weeknight favorite.

Why Use Sizzle Spray for Pasta Sauce?

Sizzle Spray is an extra virgin olive oil spray that delivers a fine, even mist. It's ideal for sautéing because it heats quickly and coats your pan without pooling. This means you can cook garlic and onions to perfection without worrying about burning or using too much oil.

Using Sizzle Spray also simplifies cleanup. Instead of measuring oil and dealing with spills, you just spray and cook. Plus, it adds a subtle olive oil flavor that enhances your sauce without overpowering it. For a quick sauce, this convenience is a game-changer.

• Even coating: No more oil pools or uneven cooking.
• High smoke point: Perfect for sautéing at medium-high heat.
• Flavor boost: Adds a hint of olive oil to your sauce.

Ingredients for a Quick Pasta Sauce

You likely have most ingredients for this sauce already. Start with 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, a can of crushed tomatoes, and your favorite seasonings like oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. For aromatics, use 3 cloves of garlic and half a small onion, finely chopped.

The star is Sizzle Spray. You'll also need salt and pepper to taste. If you want a richer sauce, add a pat of butter or a splash of heavy cream at the end. This recipe is flexible, so feel free to add vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini.

• Tomato paste and crushed tomatoes for depth.
• Garlic and onion for aromatic base.
• Sizzle Spray for healthy cooking oil.

Step-by-Step: Making the Sauce

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray with Sizzle Spray. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Then add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to caramelize it, which deepens the flavor. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and add your seasonings. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

• Use Sizzle Spray to coat the pan evenly before adding aromatics.
• Cook tomato paste until it darkens for richer taste.
• Simmer longer for a thicker sauce—just add a splash of water if needed.

Tips for the Best Quick Sauce

For a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to puree it. If you prefer a chunky texture, leave it as is. To save time, use pre-minced garlic and frozen chopped onions. You can also make a double batch and freeze half for later.

Pair your sauce with pasta like spaghetti or penne. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining—adding a splash to the sauce helps it cling to the noodles. Finish with a drizzle of Graza's “Drizzle” extra virgin olive oil for a fresh, peppery kick.

• Reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency.
• Finish with “Drizzle” for extra flavor.
• Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.

With Sizzle Spray, making a quick pasta sauce is easier than ever. In just 15 minutes, you can have a flavorful, homemade sauce that beats anything from a jar. Try this recipe tonight and enjoy a delicious, stress-free dinner.
