I absolutely loooove this spaghetti sauce!! My boyfriend also loves this. He told me, “it is the best spaghetti sauce he has ever tasted!” And no, he isn’t biased. Nor does he say anything to protect my feelings. Lol. It is just simply THAT good!!
We have both had issues with traditional, store bought sauce in a jar. Causing digestive upset, indigestion, and that heavy feeling you get after a rich carb loaded meal. Neither one of us experience that with this! That is a win in my book. When food makes you feel good, that’s when you know you are eating right!
I love that everything is natural and nourishing in this recipe. I pair it with gluten free noodles, these are my favorite! They also come in spaghetti and fettucini. I don’t even notice the difference! And I use ground turkey instead of beef or sausage, but it would also pair well with either of those.
The balsamic vinaigrette used in this spaghetti sauce recipe is my absolute favorite. It is so versatile too! I use it for marinade on fish and chicken, splash it on my salads, and I make a pasta salad with it as well.
My trusty ninja is amazing! It is the most used, abused and loved appliance in my kitchen! Not only does it create my daily smoothie and make this deliciously easy sauce, it doubles as a food processor to make soups and other sauces. and you can even mix dough!
I hope you give this recipe a try and let me know what you think. I truly believe it will be a go-to for your Italian night dishes. A delicious, home made experience you can feel good about! Buon Appetito!!
