P2 Super Easy Marinara Sauce
This is my new favorite way to have marinara sauce ready very quickly. I'm able to make this and feed my family a regular spaghetti dinner, myself a P2 dinner, and my husband has enough to take to work the next day for lunch. Win!
Super Easy Marinara Sauce
First, make a batch of Pizza Sauce:
2 cups tomato sauce (1 14oz can is fine)
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp oregano
1 Tbsp basil
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
10-15 drops Liquid Stevia, optional
You can freeze this in two portions, or make a huge batch with a giant can of tomato sauce, and freeze into a bunch of portions.
When you want marinara sauce, just take a portion of pizza sauce, add a couple of cans of diced tomatoes and a can of tomato paste, and heat it up. That's it!
Here is my lovely sauce over zucchini spaghetti and served with meatballs. Who knew eating HCG Phase 2 could taste so good or be so filling?!
The trick to the zucchini noodles is this amazing spirooli slicer. You don't have to peel the zucchini first but I prefer it peeled. Stick it in the slicer with the smallest blade inserted, and spin!
Awesome zucchini noodles! I slice my zucchini vertically, about halfway through so I get a bunch of half-curls. Spoon hot sauce over them and you almost forget you aren't eating pasta.
