2 tablespoons olive oil

½ cup diced onion (or shallot)

1 cup diced sweet potato

29 ounces canned diced tomatoes with juices

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 pound pasta, optional for serving

Parmesan cheese, optional for serving

Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetables, stir, and cover. Cook for 10 minutes or until mostly soft.

Remove lid and stir in the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium low, and place the lid so it's mostly covering the pot but not a tight seal. This will let some steam escape but also protect your cooktop from splatters. Simmer for 20-25 minutes or until everything is soft.

(If you reach the end of that cooking time and the vegetables are not completely soft but it is thickening up, add 1 cup water and continue to cook until the vegetables are soft.)

Puree with an immersion blender or in a regular blender. Season to taste with additional salt as needed.

Serve with 1 pound of cooked pasta and Parmesan cheese, if desired.
