Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat until it just shimmers. Add the grated onion, minced garlic and grated carrots, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until soft.
2. Add the crushed tomatoes and about ½ cup of water. Season generously with salt and pepper. Stir in the oregano, paprika and red pepper flakes (if using), then stir in the basil and parsley.
3. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes. Check halfway; if the sauce is too thick, add a little more water (ideally some pasta cooking water). Add more fresh basil at the end if you like.
4. If serving with pasta, add cooked pasta to the sauce, toss to combine, and let it cook in the sauce over low heat for about 5 minutes.
