Pasta is another dish that my kids are always asking for during lunch time. I really don’t prefer purchasing the store bought pasta sauces because the are full of so much sodium and artificial ingredients. I think many people don’t realize just how easy it is to make pasta sauce right at home. What I love most about creating sauces from scratch is that I know exactly what is going into it and I know that there aren’t any unhealthy ingredients being tossed in there. I am currently obsessed with this creamy vegan alfredo sauce… so good!
