Last week I ran out of store bought pasta sauce and neither had any fresh tomatoes to make marinara sauce. All I had was a can of organic tomato sauce from Trader Joes . I made this quick pasta sauce and came out totally awesome ! It saved lot of my energy cooking authentic marinara sauce, especially when I am looking for quick dinner.
Ingredients
Pasta - 2 cups
Tomato Sauce [Trader Joes] - 2.5 cups
Dried or fresh Basil
Dried or fresh Oregano
Black pepper
Salt
Mild Cheddar cheese sticks - 2, grated
Onion - 1 small
Garlic - 1 clove
Olive oil or any vegetable oil - 2-3 tbsp
Sugar - pinch
Fold in boiled pasta and sauce, garnish grated cheese. Take it off the stove and its ready to serve !!!
I served it with steamed broccoli , carrots and store bought ciabatta bread ....
