healthy spaghetti sauce

This healthy vegetable sauce is loaded with SEVEN different veggies (including a legume for extra protein) and blended into a creamy hidden veggie pasta sauce. It is so delicious and smooth. I guarantee you that even your picky eaters will lick the bowl. This is by far our daughters&#39; favorite sauce for spaghetti.

Let&#x27;s make veggie pasta sauce

It's delicious and guilt free! I'm trying to incorperate more vegetables into my diet. I'm not sure, maybe my measuring was off but it was missing a touch of acidity or brightness, so I added a squeeze of fresh lemon. I do have one question regarding portion size. 196 calories per serving, but what is the serving size?

This looks so silky smooth and delicious! Can't get over how healthy it is and I will definitely be trying this out on my little ones!

This looks amazing! Such a great way to get a whole lot of nutrients in without eating a whole lot of vegetables!

I love this sauce. The flavor just pops with pasta. So good with a nice glass of wine.

I can't wait to make this and sneak in all this veggie goodness into my family and they will have no idea! Making this this week, thanks for the recipe.

Healthy Vegetable Pasta Sauce

Healthy Homemade Spaghetti Sauce recipe has no added sugar! It's meaty, thick, full of Italian flavor and great served over traditional pasta or spaghetti squash for a low-carb meal.

Healthy Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

beef

garlic

tomato puree (29 ounces each)

salt

lemon juice

olive oil

oregano

basil

thyme leaves

red pepper flakes

In a large saucepan or pot on the stove, brown the ground beef over medium heat along with the garlic. Drain off any fat.1 1/2 pounds ground beef, 3 teaspoons minced garlic

Add in the rest of the ingredients and bring to a low boil. Stir often. 2 cans tomato puree, 2 cans diced tomatoes, with juice, 2 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, 2 teaspoons dried basil, 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Once the sauce is heated through and at a low boil, reduce the burner temperature to low and simmer uncovered for 45 minutes. This will allow some of the moisture to evaporate out, making your sauce thicker.

Serve immediately over pasta and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Or allow the sauce to cool, then package it in freezer-safe containers for easy storage.

This sauce is seriously the best. I love the flavor.

I dont know what I did wrong but my sauce turned out too rich. The recipe said 2 cans of 29 oz tomatoe puree. That is 58 oz. I used the 2 14.5 oz cans of petite diced tomatoes. When I put the cans in the pot I thought it looked alot but I thought well by the time I add everything else it would be ok. I added mushrooms, bell pepper, zucchini and onions. It was still too rich. Im surprised the recipe dont ask for water. Does anybody have any idea what went wrong when everybody else gave it good reviews?

Homemade spaghetti sauce is so much cleaner tasting!  Not all the additives.  Very seldom I use jarred.  Very seldom!  Homemade comes together quickly.  Allow it to cook slowly for hours!  Congratulations, your sauce is wonderful!  I do add a small carrot for NATURAL sweetness!  Red wine too!  (Not cooking wine).  I really like your site.

I've made this twice and it's an instant favorite! Way better than store bought!

Made it tonight for my fam and they loved it! I added rosemary and went without the crushed red peppers for my wonderful aunt who doesn't like any spice. I only used 1.3lbs of beef and I love how it is a large volume with less protein to cut down on calories and red meat consumption (it filled to the top of my sauce pan). I also didn't measure anything, used very little salt, and I used whole grain penne pasta. Next time I might consider dicing my own tomato's. Thanks for the recipe (:
