Thread: Opinions on Low Carb Spaghetti Sauce on Low or No Carb Days.

whole wheat pasta is actually pretty good i prefer it to regular pasta. for sauces i usually go with hunts garlic and herb, it comes in a big can
for each 1/2 cup serving there are 40 calories, 1 gram of fat, 8 grams of carbs 3 are fiber and 5 are sugar, and 2 grams of protein. those are some pretty solid stats but the best part is that the 26 oz. can cost about 59 cents. you should give it a try there is no added sugar in the ingredients

You can have WW Pasta on high carb days

I would skip the sauce and make your own. Either that or find a better sauce. One thats low fat and low in sugar. 1/2 C of sauce is nothing and you will need more so that means that the servings will be more than 1. Diced tomatoes or stewed tomatoes are a great base for sauce. Then add onions, garlic, peppers etc. and make your own. It only take a few mins.

I'm only using like a tablespoon on each piece of chicken but it could be absorbing some too while its heating.
Thanks for the tips guys. I may try homemade too.

make my sauce, damn, it takes long enough cooking all that chicken, pasta, and cuttin up all the vegetables, i like my sauce it is pretty solid, especially when you compare it to something like the prego sauce which is loaded with fat and sugar

Low carb sauce huh? Amazing what marketing can do these days.

Me, I see no reason why you necessarily need to slave over a hot stove a-making da gravy (unless you want to -- sure, it's fun if you're into it, and you can season to taste) but you can definitely do better than this (snort! giggle!) "low carb" sauce.

Granted, the trend is over, but if I were you, I'd look at that ingredient list again -- then look into, say, an organic/natural brand of low-fat sauce. Which should be low-carb, because a basic tomato sauce, like a basic salsa, IS low-carb, without having any stupid label or a bunch of Sucralose flung at it.

80 calories, half from fat? And some of that fat from cheese? (Probably cheap cheese, too; if you want cheese on your whatever, I recommend you buy some real, genuine Parmesan -- in a block, fresh from Italy -- and grate a bit on top. Guarantee you, even with a minimal amount, you will taste it, and the fat and calories (a mere 25 per tablespoon) will actually be worth your while.)

Anyway, back to the sauce. Seek thee a good, natural brand. You oughtta be able to find one that has nothing but tomatoes/tomato paste, onion/garlic/veg, spices and salt. Sugar/sweetener-free is a bit hard to find -- but it's hard to find in salsa, too. They are out there.

I saw low carb sauce, $12 a jar-Im too cheap!
