Doctoring up a jar of store bought pasta sauce is such an easy way to get a healthy meal on the table quickly, without sacrificing quality.
Ingredients
- 1 jar store bought pasta sauce
- 1 T olive oil
- 1-2 large carrots finely grated on a box grater
- 1-2 small zucchinis finely grated on a box grater

- 2 T capers
- 10 green olives
- 10 kalamata olives
- ¼ t garlic powder
- 1 t onion powder
- 1 T vinegar—champagne or balsamic
- 1 pound whole wheat spaghetti
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt and add pasta. Cook according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium heat in a large sauté pan. Add sausages to pan and heat through. Add capers, carrots and zucchinis and let the vegetables cook down a little. Add the onion powder, garlic powder, and olives. Mix well.
- Once all veggies have had a chance to cook down a bit, add the marinara sauce. Add vinegar and mix well.
- When pasta is finished cooking, add to the pan with the sauce and mix well (be patient so that you can really mix everything in well).
- Top with parmesan cheese!
