Mystical Mastodon Marinara

This Mystical Mastodon Marinara is a paleo-friendly take on the classic Italian sauce, made with whole peeled tomatoes, diced onion and bell pepper, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. It can be made in just 10-12 minutes in an air fryer.

The story of Mystical Mastodon Marinara begins in the ancient land of Pangaea, where mastodons roamed the earth and tomatoes were just a twinkle in the eye of evolution. One day, a wise old shaman had a vision of a delicious sauce that would bring joy to all who tasted it. He gathered the finest ingredients from the land and cooked them together in a mystical cauldron, using the power of the mastodon's spirit to create a sauce that was both flavorful and nutritious.
