Quick and Saucy

What do you do when you look at the clock and realize that you should have started supper already, and that your family is going to be hungry in T-15 minutes?  You look in the fridge, pull out whatever veggies you have and make up a quick spaghetti sauce. 

Here I sauteed 1 Onion, 3 Carrots and 1 Zucchini with half a package of Griller Crumbles.





Then I added 2 cans of tomato sauce with 1/4 can of water, 1/2 teaspoon each of oregano and basil, and let that simmer till slightly thickened.  


And finally put that over a bowl of whole grain penne pasta!


We also had some leftover bread from the previous post, and watermelon which I forgot to take a picture of.

It usually doesn't take too much planning for a quick meal as long as you have some staples like tomato sauce and pasta on hand.  I usually have some veggies that need to be used, and can often find some kind of veggie meat in the freezer.  The ingredients above, with a few variations, can be used to make several different dishes like pizza, and stir fry too! 

I challenge you to take a look at what you already have in your fridge and pantry, and see if you can come up with a quick and delicious meal for your family this week, and let me know what you come up with!!
