16 oz. tomato sauce
1 cup broccoli slaw (buy prepared or shred broccoli stems yourself)
1 tablespoon sundried tomatoes (chopped)
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon basil
Garlic to taste
Salt to taste
Spaghetti
Optional: shredded parmesan, romano, or asiago cheese (this adds fat, so use sparingly) Nutrition information based on 1/4 cup cheese for 4 servings.
Time:
1/2 hour or more to simmer the sauce (put it on to simmer while you go for a walk), 10 minutes to boil the spaghetti.
Preparation
Steam the broccoli slaw - I put it in the microwave in a covered bowl for 2 minutes with a tablespoon of water. It doesn't smell too good, but don't worry - that won't transfer to the sauce.
In a saucepan, add the tomato sauce, steamed broccoli slaw, sundried tomatoes, oregano, basil, and garlic. Heat on medium/low to low for at least 1/2 hour, stirring occasionally. You can also heat this all day in a crockpot on low.
Boil the spaghetti in salted water, drain.
Add the sauce to the spaghetti. Add cheese if desired.
Nutrition
The broccoli slaw provides a lot of vitamin C, and the tomato sauce and broccoli have a big dose of Vitamin A. Your serving of the spaghetti determines how many starch/bread exchanges to count. This is a very lowfat and high nutrition spaghetti - great for endurance athletes such as walkers. The sundried tomatoes give it body and richness without adding fat.
