A New Spin on Pasta Sauces

Feel like you're in a rut when it comes to pasta sauce? Try something new – and easy – to top your pasta:

• Marinara. Red tomato-based meatless sauce
• Alfredo. Creamy white sauce
• Pesto. A basil-based blend with pine nuts, olive oil, garlic and cheese
• Vodka. A dark-orange colored tomato-based sauce with cream and vodka
• Ragu. (We’re talking about the type of sauce, not the brand name!) Red tomato-based sauce with meat
• Pomodoro. Red sauce made from fresh tomatoes and cooked for longer than marinara sauce

Or, try this fresh idea for a light pasta sauce:

• Drizzle pasta with olive oil and splash with a bit of balsamic vinegar.
• Top it with grilled vegetables, grilled chicken or sliced olives and basil.
• Or use a jar of sauce, add chopped veggies and simmer.
