This dish turned out a pasta sauce that was a little unsettling to him when he first saw it as the pasta sauce was no longer bright red but a brownish red, but once he dug into it, he cleaned his bowl and pronounced it "good". High praise for anything brown or green.
Ingredients:
- Onion
- Garlic
- Bell Pepper
- Mushrooms
- Tomatoes, fresh
- Tomatoes, sauce or paste
- Cooked, whole grain pasta or your favorite other pasta
Chop onions, garlic, pepper, mushrooms and fresh tomato
Saute with 1 tsp olive oil or water saute
Just as onions turn translucent, add chopped kale and spinach or other greens
Let finish softening, add a bit of water and let simmer for 15 minutes to allow flavors to release, meld together.
Let cool and add to blender with tomato sauce and seasonings, to taste. We use pepper, garlic powder, onion powder.
Combine with pasta and store until eaten. In the past, we've added a pinch of low fat or skim finely shredded mozzarella cheese to tempt him into eating this, but we are out of it now and he didn't seem to mind the loss.
