WHOLE WHEAT PASTA MARINARA

Whole Wheat Pasta Marinara image

This is a fat-free, sugar-free variation on a recipe I use a lot. If you're not hell-bent on making it totally fat-free, I recommend cooking the onions and mushrooms and garlic in olive oil. Serve with fat-free Parmesan cheese and, if desired, hot sauce.
