"Everyone has that one recipe they can't live without. This is the recipe I turn to when I don't know what else to fix for dinner. When I was first out on my own, I looked up a bunch of recipes and then, I figured out what I really needed to make a basic pasta sauce. This is really basic and you can add veggies or meat or anything else you want..."

"Fast, easy, and very delicious!! I usually have everything that I need for this recipe on hand. Use as much or as little garlic that you like, or, that your family and friends can tolerate.

"Pesto Sauce that is legal on WW! And better than regular Pesto!"

Ingredients: fresh basil leaves, olive oil...

"This is a recipe I adapted from a Wolfgang Puck dish I had at Downtown Disney. It tastes sweet because of the carrot, but you can substitute chopped celery for the carrot if you want a more savory sauce. If you make this for a picky eater, chop the veggies in a food processor and they'll barely taste it. It's pretty healthy and it goes great..."

"This recipe was on the back of a pkg. of spaghetti that I'd gotten from Sam's Club. It's great for a light dinner, or when you want to get supper on the table personally prefer to use fresh herbs whenever possible. I just feel it's worth the extra pennies to get the fresh flavor. When using wine in your recipes, use wine that you..."

"This light and creamy pesto will go great with any pasta, on top of breaded and fried eggplant, grilled chicken, or even on top of salmon! It tastes great warmed up or even cold the next day.

"Bring your slow-cooker up to speed with this chunky, intensely flavored tomato sauce that is a fabulous whiff of Southern Italy.
