Pasta Sauce Recipes

This healthy sauce is easy to make, tastes great, and is full of protein and fiber (10 g each!)

This Asian-inspired pasta dish is so good and so quick to make and can be served hot or cold. Add some tofu for another healthy option.

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 recipe is from "Clueless in the Kitchen" by Evelyn Raab. This delicious chicken peanut butter sauce was originally meant to be served over pasta, but it's also great over rice or Thai noodles.

Fresh & creamy.

A healthy, yet hearty meat pasta sauce

This is the recipe I use to make home-canned pasta sauce.
The sauce can be frozen. If you choose to can, follow proper procedures. This recipe is adapted from the Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving.

When I don't have time to make spaghetti sauce from scratch, I use this recipe. It uses Hunts spaghetti sauce as the base.

One recipe that tastes better when served the 2nd time around. This some what spicy red sauce sauce has a ‘nice tang’ but you can omit tomatoes w/Green Chilies for an additional can of regular for a milder taste. I usually double this recipe and freeze for great healthy and fast meals at a later date.

A mostly natural pasta sauce that has a little kick

This rich, creamy pasta sauce was the result of an experiment. We wanted to make a creamy, mushroom-y pasta topping with no cream. We're trying to watch our diet a little better, and while we were eating pasta there was no need to indulge in cream, right?
The creaminess and thickness in a sauce can come through many methods. One of these is cream - the common ingredient of Alfredo and other cream sauces. Some pasta toppings, like carbonara, use eggs to thicken and give richness.
One lighter option is a roux, or flour-thickened, sauce. We had seen this dismissed as too difficult. Pshaw! A roux is nothing more than a little butter and flour, cooked over low heat until the flour grains swell. Then they are whisked together with hot liquid, the grains swell to thicken the sauce and voilá! You have thick, creamy pasta sauce without too much fat.
The bulk of this sauce is white wine, broth, and mushrooms. We don't use a lot of wild mushrooms - they are expensive, and just a few will do here to give flavor.
The result? Silky, thick and creamy pasta sauce - full of toothsome mushrooms and a little green parsley. The flavor of wine, wild mushrooms, and black pepper predominate - and it's not too fattening! Leaves you an excuse for plenty of cheese...

VERY simple recipe, and low in carbs! Make's a GREAT small side with mashed potatoes/pumpkin and schnitzels/steaks/grilled meats.

Low-Cal Pasta Sauce that can be used in a number of different manners and applications

Giada DeLaurente makes this Pene Pasta with Creamy spinach sauce

Using either Morning Star Crumbles, or Textured Soy Protein you can make a tasty and thick protein-rich Tomato Sauce for your Pasta dishes. Serve this sauce over your favorite pata, or over pulled, cooked, Spagetti Squash for an extra low calorie, low fat meal.

At your local farmers' market you may find locally grown organic onions, mushrooms, and garlic. Grown your own tomatoes, and can them, or buy a 28 oz can organic crushed tomatoes. We like to dehydrate our own "Sun" dried tomatoes (NO OIL) to store for the winter. The sun dried tomatoes give this recipe an extra delicious kick! If you have fresh oregano, great, otherwise organic dried oregano is fine.

A quick easy fix with ingredients often found in my kitchen. My son loves it too! If I am low on my numbers for calories, carbs and fats for the day I usually indulge in this one!

my home made pasta sauce I make it and can it so its on hand when I need it. Also good to freeze (i freeze it in 2, and 4 cup measures so its easy to pull out and defrost. I also do a few 1 c measures (freeze in a ziplock sandwich bag flat to save room and it will defrost faster) for pizza sauce .

meatless, but thick with veggie goodness

Use any veggies you like, but I like these the best...sometimes I add mushrooms.

This recipe is the total that was made with Meals Made Ahead. Each of you took home 1/5 of the total. So if you get 6 servings out of your bag, that's the 30 servings I calculated.

Quick and Easy...

The addition of the sweet vermouth here punctuates the natural sweetness of the canned tomatoes, making this quick sauce taste like it has been simmered for hours.

Seems decadent but pair this generous helping with a steamed veggie and dinner comes in around 350 calories!
