Tomato Pasta Recipes

Most pasta salads are heavy on the pasta and light on everything else. This version, which can be served warm or cold, includes a hefty portion of vegetables--both spinach and tomatoes.

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

Delicious and simple.

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 a delicious dish with a lot of flavor.

This is a light pasta dish that can be served warm or cold. It has a light lemony taste.

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.

One pot dinner.

Inspired by the fresh options of summer, this dish is easy to make for just one (half it or enjoy leftovers!) or double for a family. Its full of taste and has lots of room for variation that depends on your taste. In addition, I often add summer squash under the pasta for more veggies (as in the picture). Even over just squash would probably be good! It does need some protein to balance the meal... I plan to try it with lentils soon.

This dish is a quick tasty fix for lunch. Best prepared using fresh, local ingredients.

A cool, summery side dish for lunch or dinner.

This recipe comes from Rachael Ray's website

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.

Sometimes I add tuna or cooked chicken to this to make it a main dish. Delicious!

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.
