Not Your Every Day Pasta Sauces

Pasta with marinara is an age old favorite for those nights you need a quick dinner. But after a while the same-old, same-old can wear on your tastebuds. So if you’re tired of your typical red sauces and alfredo sauces, here are two exotic new toppings for your pasta. Both are unexpected, quick to make, and inexpensive. They’ll make you look at pasta in a whole new way.

Spicy Tuna Sauce
This sauce is best made with fresh basil and garlic. It’s a flavorful red-sauce that goes perfectly with pasta, and calls out for a tangy romano cheese. Make it in a big batch, because it’s addictive. If you have a family to feed, you might also want to add it to your Once-a-Month-Cooking repoitoire because it freezes beautifully. The most versatile aspect of this tuna sauce is that it’s hard to ruin. If you put in more tuna, it will still come out fine. Too many cans of tomatoes? Just add a dash more spice. All you have is a bottled red sauce, and no tomatoes? Fine. This recipe can be thrown together with ingredients you have on hand, even if they’re not the exact same ones called for.

Make your own sauce!
