I got this recipe off the Internet a few years ago (I wish I could remember where!). It originally called for meat, which I still add, but lately I've been using it as a marinara sauce for main dishes that require spaghetti sauce. It's yummy, simple & comes together in no time. Plus you can easily cut it in half for whatever purposes! I use this for pizza-type recipes as well! Please feel free to play around with the spices! Ingredients:
1 cup onion, chopped |
3 -4 minced garlic cloves (i use the jarred kind) |
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste |
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce |
2 cups water |
3 teaspoons dried parsley |
3 teaspoons italian seasoning |
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon splenda sugar substitute |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
3/4 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1 lb ground beef (optional) or 1 lb ground turkey (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, brown onion & garlic over medium heat. If using meat, brown with the onion & garlic-drain well.
2. Add rest of ingredients on medicum-low heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover & simmer 15-20 minutes. Stir sauce every 5 minutes.
3. Serve over pasta, or use in other dishes.
4. I believe this makes about 4 cups-but it's a guess!
