Oh yeah... you can add some grilled chicken to it and make it a more hearty meal! It's really great.

I don't know the calorie count right off hand. I guess you could just look at your pasta brand and add in the other calories from the ingredients. Sorry I don't have a quick answer for you!

This recipe gave me a sweeet idea I thought I'd share!

I saw this recipe yesterday and decided I was going to try a "hot" version...and it was sooo much better than Prego or any other bottled spaghetti sauce that you heat up. It was natural and refreshing!! So, I tweeked your recipe (thanks soo much!) and made it over the stovetop for a nice delicious sauce to go over my whole wheat thin spaghetti noodles. YUM!


4-5 roma tomatoes chopped into small chunks
1/2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 cup basil (or however much you want!)
dash of oregano (optional)
1/2 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese

I heated the oil in the skillet and added the garlic and onion. After the it started bubbling I added the tomatoes so they would soften and blend together. I also added basil and oregano so that the flavor would really sink in I let it bubble and simmer for about 8-10 minutes and then I added the salt, pepper, and finally the parmesan cheese. I stirred and let that simmer. The sauce turned from a bright red to more of an orange color with the parmesan added. It smelled sooo good!

I served whole wheat thin spaghetti with grilled chicken on top, and poured 2/3 cup of this sauce over top. YUMMMMY GOODNESS!
