Delicious, Fat-Free Marinara

Difficulty: Beginner

When I started my diet last week, I had a lot of trouble eating large portions for dinner without cheating on my diet. I was looking for something low in fat and carbohydrates that I could gorge on. Luckily, I came across this delicious recipe that has no fat and few carbs, which goes perfectly on spaghetti, raviolis, tortellini, and just about any other type of pasta. If you aren't looking for a healthy recipe, feel free to cut the recipe in half and mix with an equal part of alfredo sauce for a delicious and creamy tomato sauce. You'll need:

6oz fat-free evaporated milk
12oz diced tomatoes (if you prefer fresh, dice 2 Roma tomatoes)
12oz tomato paste (or 2 Roma tomatoes blended in blender)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3-4 cloves minced garlic
1/2 cup diced onion
2 teaspoons fresh or dried basil
salt and pepper to taste

Sautee onions, garlic, and a tablespoon of oil in a medium pot over mid-high heat. When the onions begin to turn glossy or the garlic begins to brown, turn down heat and add oregano and basil (if dried). Pour diced tomatoes and tomato sauce into the pot, and increase heat to medium. Let boil for about five minutes before adding evaporated milk, salt, and pepper. If basil is fresh, add it now. Serve over pasta with copious amounts of grated cheese.
