    Does anyone have a good spaghetti sauce that isn't high is sugar or carbs. I have been using a jar sauce and adding celery, bell pepper, onion, carrots, and garlic to the meat but would really like a better homemade sauce.

    I've been making my own tomato sauce for years, but I've had to refine it recently to reduce the paste and the cheese! Not to mention cutting out the wine (one for the pot, one for me...)

    Fry off onions and garlic
    Salt and pepper
    Carton of passta, 500gm
    Drained tin of chopped tomatoes
    1 tablespoon of red pesto (adds gorgeous richness... i used to add half a jar!)
    100gm of tomato paste
    Dried oregano and basil (usually basil leaves too)

    Bring to a high heat, then a soft simmer for 1 hour.


    If you want more of a neapolitan chunky sauce rather than a ragu then I also add:
    chopped bell peppers
    chopped spinach
