🌟 Recipe Overview
- Easy to make. This low FODMAP pasta sauce takes only 15 min to make.
- Authentic. All the right flavors are there and you won’t even notice that it is low FODMAP.
📔 Ingredients & Substitutes
Canned whole peeled plum tomatoes. Use a high-quality brand for the best flavor.
Garlic-infused olive oil. This will give that nice garlicky flavor
Balsamic vinegar. I always recommend adding balsamic vinegar when making tomato sauce because it pairs so well with the tomatoes and provides a nice tangy and slightly sweet flavor.
Fresh Basil provides authentic and fresh flavor to the sauce. Plus tomatoes and basil go well together. If you don’t have fresh basil you can also use dried.
Sugar. Depending on how acidic your tomatoes are, the sugar will help balance out the flavors.
Salt & Pepper. You add seasonings according to taste.

The information comes from the Monash FODMAP app. If possible, work with a trained dietitian for a more personalized approach. For more low fodmap serving size information, please refer to the Monash FODMAP app.
Canned whole peeled plum tomatoes are low FODMAP in 100g per serving. This recipe uses one can (400g) plum tomatoes and serves four FODMAP-friendly portions.
Garlic-infused oil. Make sure to use low FODMAP garlic-infused oil without any garlic pieces in the oil. My favorite is Garlic Infused Olive oil by Fody Foods
Balsamic Vinegar is low FODMAP in 21g or 1 tablespoon per serving. This recipe requires only 1 tablespoon and serves 4 portions.
