GF/DF Spagetti-O Sauce

This sauce was not originally supposed to be a spagetti-o substitute but since the original idea didn't turn out quite like I had planned, I was happy that the kids LOVED this yummy mistake. Now we have a quick and easy way to make spagetti-o's. This canned childhood classic was greatly missed by the younger family members after it had been stricken off the list of allowable items- for allergy reasons, mostly, but also because the kind in the can is SO over processed.

So here is the healthy (or at least not overly processed) version:

Spagetti-O Sauce

1 Cup (+ a tiny bit more) dairy free Milk (I used rice milk)

3 heaping Tablespoons Cornstarch

dash of salt

dash of pepper

1 can of tomato sauce

In a pot combine cornstarch and milk. Stir together while oven top warms (medium heat works best). Keep mixing until it begins to thicken. Add tomato sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir allowing everything to combine completely. Simmer for a while to allow the sauce to thicken even more.

Pour over rice noodles (or regular noodles if you don't have to worry about gluten).

Note/Idea (for those who are not vegan/vegetarian): add cooked meat to the sauce. My Dad liked the cooked chicken that I added to the original sauce. Saying it was much more dinner appropriate than just the sauce by itself. The kids didn't care one way or another.
