To prepare a tomato juice spaghetti sauce recipe, first you'll need to prepare the sauce. First, you will need the following ingredients: 1 cup (240 ml) tomato puree 2 tablespoons (2.5 g) kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon thyme sprigs 1 tsp. dried oregano (optional) 12 teaspoon paprika Instructions Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Peel the tomatoes and cut them into quarters. Cut the garlic into 1/4 inch slices. Add the chopped tomatoes to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste. Cook the mixture for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and add the remaining ingredients. Simmer, covered, for 30 minutes or until thickened. Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed. Serve immediately.
