Recipe: Pasta Sauce

Making your own pasta sauce helps control exactly what goes in it.

Needed:
6oz Can of Tomato Paste, I use an organic one we get at Wal Mart.
2 cups of water
Italian seasoning, I make a blend myself with whatever I have on hand. I will post about what I put in mine the next time I make it.

Optional: We use ground turkey sausage, onions, and sweet peppers to kick it up a bit.

Always use whole wheat pasta for this. Try and stick with the serving size listed on the box. It DOES make a difference.

Directions:

If using meat/veg, cook those first, then add the spice blend for a bit. This lets the spices open up just a bit. Toss the tomato paste in, let it warm for just a few seconds (30-40) then pour in 2 cups of water.

Bring to a light boil.

Pour over pasta and enjoy.
