15 Minute “Homemade” Pasta Sauce

On the way home from work today I was told that Avi wanted pasta and meatballs for dinner. It was not exactly on my radar for dinner, but why not. Defrosting the ground beef is not too hard, and add a jar of pasta sauce and you are done. The problem is that being on Weight Watchers, pasta sauce is quite a no-no. So here is what I came up with.

15 Minute Homemade Pasta Sauce

1 lb ground beef
1 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes
1 15 oz can of diced tomatoes
1 medium onion diced
4 garlic gloves crushed
2 Tbs Italian seasoning

Brown the beef and chop up in a pan with no oil. As the beef cooks down there will be enough fat to cook the meat.
Just before the beef is about done add the onion and garlic. Cook for about 5 mintues.
Add the rest of the ingredients and cook on medium heat for at least 5 minutes (10 minutes optimum)

Makes about 10 servings

Serve over pasta.

For any WW people out there each serving is 4 points. Add one cup of cooked whole wheat pasta, a nice large salad with non-fat dressing and you have a very nice 7 point dinner.
