Auntie Janet's Pasta Sauce or Soup

Recipe by: Lulu

Be the first to review it!

When our children were little my friend gave me this recipe which hides vegetables in the sauce; my children still love it as teenagers. It freezes very well so I am never without a quick meal to hand. It can be used on its own over pasta or with the addition of single cream makes a luxurious soup. A vegetarian version can be made without the bacon.

The trick to great guacamole is - of course - good avocados. Make sure your avocados are ripe, and the Haas variety is always best. Serve this dip with tortilla crisps or an array of fresh vegetables.

Best Italian Pasta Sauce

Recipe by: KRAZYBARB

Be the first to review it!

The secret ingredient in this pasta sauce is bicarbonate of soda - but do not taste the sauce right after adding it. Wait a while, and this sauce will not disappoint. Stir in Parmesan and keep simmering. Let the flavours meld overnight, then serve over your favourite pasta.

Wash, peel and de-seed the tomatoes - I found using a regular peeler did not work too well, I used a perforated edged knife to peel and de-seed.

Emily's Onion Dip

Recipe by: HBIC

Sometimes I throw in some fresh herbs from the garden too. It's perfect for dipping with crisps or veggies, and is much lower in fat than your typical shop-bought dip.

This is a nicely spiced enchilada sauce - pour over corn tortillas stuffed with cheese and your choice of shredded beef or chicken, or refried beans.

Fat free pasta sauce

Recipe by: meadedavina

Be the first to review it!

Having been in catering for 40 years the biggest problems we all face is a filling tasty meal that is also healthy, this recipe can be used on its own over pasta with maybe a breaded escalope or as the base for Bolognese lasagna even spanish chicken. Due to the lack of any fat at all this does need a long slow cook. I tend to make a massive big pot of this and then freeze it into usuable size portions (rest of the now grown up family always grab a few from the freezer whenever they come round)

Green Pea Sauce

Recipe by: flor

This sauce adds a very nice flavour to mashed potatoes and the combination goes very well with steak. To reduce the amount of fat in the sauce, I like to use evaporated milk. You can use cream instead, but I think the lower fat version is just as tasty!

Pasta sauce, mushroom and chard topping

Recipe by: Jan Cutler

Be the first to review it!

Nothing beats steaming-hot baked potatoes. They can be left to bake in the oven or quickly cooked in a microwave, so are great as a no-fuss accompaniment – but add a tasty vegetable topping and they become a delicious, filling and nutritious meal in their own right.
