Fat free pasta sauce
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)
