This is a fast version of a classic Italian tomato sauce because I use canned, diced tomatoes instead of fresh ones. Of course if you have more time use fresh. I usually use the fresh tomatoes in the summer when I have a big crop of tomatoes. This spaghetti sauce recipe saves a lot of time and tastes almost as good. There are many varieties of canned, diced tomatoes on the market but I like the ones with roasted garlic or basil added. If you have hearty eaters, brown 1/2 lb. - 1 lb. of hamburger separately depending on how much sauce you are making, drain and add as the last ingredient. Use about 1/2 lb. hamburger for the recipe below and double as needed.
Heat in a large skillet over medium heat: 2 T. olive oil Add: Stir and cook for 5 minutes. Add: Stir and cook for a couple more minutes. Add hamburger if you are using it and add the rest of the ingredients except for the parmesan. Simmer for at least 10 minutes uncovered while you are boiling high protein (Barilla) pasta noodles. Top with grated parmesan that you buy as a chunk of parmesan cheese. Don't buy the already grated parmesan in a can because it has high glycemic ingredients. The whole parmesan is a little more expensive but it lasts well when refrigerated and you don't need much per meal. Half of this recipe would go over 8 oz. of pasta which is enough for four people. The rest you can refrigerate for a few days for another meal or if you've doubled the recipe you can freeze the rest in separate quart containers. 270 calories per 1 cup serving There you have it, a filling, spahetti sauce recipe made with low glycemic carbs that will give you a nutritious meal for several nights!
