Meow's Healthy Tomato-Mushroom sauce (WW)

spatchcock's Note:

This is my healthy recipe for marinara sauce. I use it is a dipping sauce and i also use it for pasta dishes. I LOVE IT! You could add fresh oregano, too, if you wanted, as well as some fresh black pepper. (WW: I think this is about 1 point/cup. The only thing that has points in this recipe is the stewed tomatoes, and those are 1 pt/ cup.)

• Total Time: 17 mins
• Prep Time: 2 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 1 (24 ounce) can stewed tomatoes (about)
• 1 (12 ounce) can mushrooms , in water (about)
• 3 cloves garlic (or as many as you want)
• ½ cup torn basil leaves (fresh!!! MUST use fresh!!)
• kosher salt (to taste)

Directions:

1. Saute garlic in nonstick cooking spray over low to medium heat.
2. Once garlic is tender, add mushrooms and tomatoes.
3. Mash tomatoes as the mixture becomes more sauce-like, about 10 minutes.
4. Add basil close to the end of cooking time.
5. You'll know when it's done!
6. This is fantastic with whole-wheat pita triangles toasted in the oven with nonstick cooking spray!

Thanks for posting :) I have made this a lot in the past since it does not need oil. I prefer the taste of fresh mushrooms though and usually use 1-2 cloves of garlic depending on the size. Depending on my mood and contents of the fridge I also add other veggies like zucchini (sliced using cheese slicer), peas, carrots, sweetcorn...

Easy tasty recipe - I did a couple of things differently. I used fresh mushrooms and sauteed them with the meatballs that I was making the sauce for. I put the sauce in the blender and pureed it then poured it over the meatballs & mushrooms -reheatedit and served over fine egg noodles with veggies on the side. Very tasty dinner thank-you RedMeatGirl
