Recipe - Ragu Light

1 md Can tomato sauce (or crushed
tomatoes if you like it
chunky)
2 teaspoon Minced garlic (I buy it
already minced, check the
label for oil though)
1 tablespoon Each fresh oregano and basil
(I buy this in the produce
section water packed in
jars)
2 tablespoon Tomato paste

I used to use the tomato basil Ragu Light, which used to be labelled as fat
free (although I haven't found it recently). It was totally vegan (even
listed "natural vegetable flavorings" on the label. I think they may have
changed the formula as the ones I've seen in the store recently are
labelled as lowfat not fat free. At any rate, plain pasta sauce is SO easy
to make yourself and only takes as long as the noodles take to cook. Here
is how I make mine:

Simmer until heated through. Tomato paste will thicken the sauce. You may
want to add it 1 T. at a time so you get the desired thickness. This is
really tasty, super quick, and totally fat free. If you want other stuff in
it, just steam some veggies in the microwave (or use leftovers out of the
refrigerator) and add them to the sauce. Posted to fatfree digest V97 #058
