For years, I’ve made a spaghetti or pasta sauce that simmers all day long. It makes enough for many meals so I freeze it in servings for two. Recently, we wanted pasta but there was no sauce in the freezer. So, I created a quick pasta sauce. It cooked up in under an hour total time and is enough for 4 servings.

I love to cook. I’m also a health coach, a path I chose after going through a health crisis which taught me the importance of eating healthy meals. Now, I want to combine the two — health coaching and cooking — to help people learn to cook healthy meals. To plan healthy meals. And to eat healthy meals. For more, please visit Your Cooking Coach.
