Canned beans and tomatoes work fine. If you have the time dried beans cooked according to package, and fresh tomatoes roasted in oven until skins char, give a richer flavor.
This is borrowed from a recipe by Giada De Laurentiis with changes made to suit my own tastes.
One of my favorite pasta recipes – not exactly low-fat but full of good, heart-healthy fats.
A creamy garlicky dip reminiscent of hummus. Serve with warm pita bread or pita chips.
Super filling and very tasty! Only 200 cals per serving thats for the meat, sauce, and "noodles." Spaghetti squash in place of spaghetti makes a great low cal and filling substitution. Loaded with veggies and herbs.
Tastes just like lasagna- with only 100 calories a serving! Quick and easy. Cheese is optional and not included in the nutrition info but I found a very small amount of finely shredded cheese made it nice and cheesy! I used 1 tbsp at the table and stirred it in.
This was soooo yummy!! You can lower your fat grams by using turkey pepperoni. I don't care for the taste, so we used traditional pepperoni. I added mushrooms to ours, very good!
Lovely fresh flavors. I always get raves when I bring it to potlucks and dinners
