Tomato/Garlic/Bell Pepper Pasta Sauce with Meat( Pasta – Pasta – red )

Daily Random Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 x 8 oz / 225 g cans of tomato sauce
• 4 medium tomatoes, chopped
• 1-2 cups V-8 vegeatble juice (to thin the sauce if need be)
• 1 bell pepper, cored and chopped
• 1-2 T Italian seasoning
• 1/2 – 1 lb (225 – 450 g) of veggie crumbles (I used a 14 oz / 400 g package of Gimme Lean hamburger style)
• 1/2 cloves garlic, minced
  

METHOD:
Saute veggie crumbles and bell pepper for a few minutes in a large skillet. Add all other ingredients (except v-8 juice) and simmer for about 20 minutes. Add as much or as little V-8 juice as you need, if you find the spaghetti sauce is too thick.

Yields about 2 x 26 oz / 735 g jars worth of sauce (I filled up 2 old store-bought pasta jars I recycled).
