They have come a long way from the original pasta sauce. There are numerous kinds to choose from to tempt anyone who likes pasta. The general rule is that the ones that are a bit more expensive are the ones that taste better. Toss your favorite kind with any pasta and enjoy.
You can make your own pesto in the food processor or blender or you can buy pesto at any grocery store. Fresh basil, olive oil,garlic, and a few pine nuts or walnuts will make it perfect. It only takes a couple of tablespoons of pesto to a box or package of pasta. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and its ready.
Dressing up pasta with a little olive oil, garlic, and parmesan is a favorite simple treat to make anytime. The taste is simple pasta but bolder with added garlic. Make it what you want.
Slow cook crushed tomatoes with basil, oregano, and garlic. Let it simmer all day and taste the pleasant flavor for dinner. Add beef, pork, or chicken if desired. Again, sprinkle with parmesan.
Throw some Italian sausage, green peppers, and onions in a 2 qt pan cook through. Add crushed tomatoes, garlic, and fresh basil and simmer in the crock pot for the rest of the day. Cook up some Penne pasta and you are set for a spicy meal.
I'm feeling the "Sausage and Peppers" .. 5 stars for this list. I'm going to try it and let you know how it turns out.
Simple and delicious pasta recipe alternatives. I like them all, plus sometimes I just add a little butter and call it good.
