Quick Tomato Sauce with Big Taste
We all need a quick tomato sauce every now and then. It is preferable to the canned or jar varieties of marinara or pasta sauce. The best part is you know the ingredients, so there is no guessing at the nutritional content.
| This tomato sauce cooks up quick as you boil the pasta.
Be certain to use no-salt added tomato sauce, so that the sodium content remains low.
You can easily add some fresh vegetables, such as grated carrots or beets ...
|
Or try some chopped or sliced mushrooms for added potassium and great flavor.
