Linguine with Easy Meat Sauce

I like this recipe a lot. It's very easy. Mu husband is picky when it comes to tomatoes, so I've subbed the diced tomatoes for crushed and it's still really, really good. I usually add some basil or italian seasoning and crushed red pepper.

This was VERY good, but felt it was missing something. It took some time, but we finally figured it out! BASIL! It needs basil and maybe a little more salt. I used shrimp instead of ground beef and also added a little Italian seasoning because I love Italian seasoning! Will be making frequently!

Delicious & light in calories! The only suggestion I would give as my personal preference is to please be more specific when providing the yield serving.;) i.e.: 1 cup or 1/2 cup of pasta to 1 cup to 1/2 of cup of sauce,etc. Especially for all of us counting exact calories!;) Otherwise scrumptious!;) <3

this was a great quick weeknight meal. You need to make a couple of changes to make it more flavorful. First, i used 2/3 lb of meat and 2/3 cup onion, and 1 extra can of tomatoes so we would have leftovers for the next day. Then, I added a little more garlic, I doubled the oregano and also added dried thyme and basil as well. I then melted a little bit of fresh grated parmesan into the sauce, which gives it a nice smoky flavor and helps the texture of the sauce. I also used 4 tbsp of tomato paste instead of 3 and we used dried whole grain linguine. Sprinkle with lots of fresh basil (it's a must) and some more fresh grated parm and this was awesome. It feels great not having to rely on bottled pasta sauce for a change!

This was tasty and easy! I sub'd ground turkey breast for the beef and left out the parsley. Eight pts!
