Basil Sauce Recipes

Got this recipe from Price Chopper (our local grocery store) and have made it twice. My whole family liked this one which says alot for the recipe. The recipe says to use a grill but I used my George Foreman grill and it worked beatifully. Also, you can use Promise Margarine to lower the fat grams.

A very slight variation of Wolfgang Puck, 2004 recipe.
I was looking for something new to try with my summer tomato abundance & this was a winner! Entered into SP for the nutritionals & thought I would share. ;-)

This is best served with whole wheat fettucini. Goes well with chicken or salmon. Or simply serve as is for a meatless meal that is quite filling. Add a side of steamed broccoli and mushrooms and serve strawberries topped with whipped cream for desert.

A lighter alternative to heavy pasta cream sauces. *Sub. shrimp for less fat and calories.

This is a Diabetic recipe.
It's kind of bland and for some reason I think it would taste better with chicken.
This recipe uses cooking spray which is NOT listed in the Spark Data base.
Can be served with whole wheat cooked spaghetti or any kind of pasta which is NOT included in the nutrition information.
The picture makes it look kind of gross but overall, it's not too bad.

Yummy, creamy sauce - perfect served over pasta! The flavors of basil and garlic really come through-the fresh basil makes this recipe.

I baked my meatballs in the oven for 15 minutes then transferred them to a skillet with tomato sauce simmering on medium-low. Then I gently spooned the sauce over the meatballs so that they would continue to soak in the flavor. It did not disappoint.
