Spaghetti Night

Have you ever looked at the ingredients in most spaghetti sauces. Why do they include sugar? Tomatoes are sweet if they are picked at the right time, why add sugar? Here is an easy, home sauce that is very little more work than opening a jar.


Marinara Sauce with Meat

• 1/2 pound ground turkey or ground beef
• 1/2 pound Italian spicy sausage - hot, medium, or mild (can use Italian turkey sausage if desired)
• 1 - 29oz. can crushed tomatoes
• 1 small can tomato paste
• 2 t. garlic powder (not garlic salt)
• 1 t. basil
• 1/2 t. oregano

1. Brown and drain meats.
2. Add all other ingredients and mix.
3. Allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes or, for more flavor, cook in crock pot for 3-4 hours on high.

That's it! I know it's amazing an simple. Pair with an SmartTaste pasta and you have and outstanding - and healthy meal.
