Lowest calorie Pasta Sauce ?

[tiger104]

What is the lowest calorie pasta sauce ? Ragu original and tesco used to be the lowest, but i noticed they have now changed and the calorie content per 100g has gone up ?? to around 45 cals per 100g

I'm looking for one around 25 cals per 100g ??

Cheers

make your own from fresh tomatoes

Never as tasty ....

dont know about calorie content but what about a tin of tomatoes,tube of tomato puree, mixed herbs, salt and pepper. Very tasty and even my VERY picky kids eat it. (especially if I leave an empty ragu jar out to trick them)

bednobs is right.

Tomatoes are one of the few veggies/fruits that cooking and process actually makes them more nutritous. That is a cooked tomato, fresh or tinned is better for you than a fresh one.

As for being "not as tasty". No way.

Gets some fresh off the vine toms. Chop up and slowly fry in some olive oil (healthy fat!). Mix with some onion, garlic and chilli flakes (optional) and stir into pasta. Slow fry for about 12 minutes. . Absolutely lovely!!!!

I make the sauce Joe-the-lion suggested, but I put lots of fresh Basil in it instead of chilli flakes. It's lovely. I never buy ready made pasta sauce.x

if you have kids, or hate vegetables yourself, you can whizz u pureed veg to put in and you cant taste it

Tesco does one in its Healthy Living range that is only 23 calories per 100g and its only 56p for a large (500g) jar.

here's a quick recipe for a low-fat delicious pasta sauce: cook one onion in a tin of chop tomato for about 40 min. Then add oregano, garlic to taste. No oil or butter so it's low fat! Once the sauce is ready, you can add any low-fat cooked meat to it (chicken breast, lean beef, or fish). I always make it that way and the whole family loves it! It's much cheaper than a ready-made one anyway!
