Whip Up Weeknight Dinners in Minutes! These quick & easy pasta sauces use simple ingredients for a delicious meal in 5 minutes. Choose from creamy avocado basil, roasted red pepper & tomato, or veggie-packed ginger, butternut & carrot.
Quick, ‘5-minute’ pasta sauces to use what’s in the fridge or whip up a quick mid-week meal. Blend up the sauce, and toss through your pasta of choice! You can also use leftover veggies or blitz-up fresh ingredients for the easiest and most uncomplicated sauce.
To make sure that sauce adheres well to your pasta, follow these tips:
Save that Pasta Water!: Reserve a cup or so of the starchy pasta water before draining. This flavourful water can be added to your sauce to help it cling to the pasta for a delicious result.
Skip the Oil: Don’t add oil to your pasta water. It can prevent the sauce from sticking to the noodles. Instead, add a drizzle of olive oil to your cooked pasta if you’re not tossing it in sauce right away.
Sauce Last: Drain your pasta and add it directly to your waiting sauce. Don’t rinse the pasta unless you’re using it for a pasta salad, as rinsing removes the starch that helps the sauce adhere.
By following these tips, you can transform your pasta dishes from bland to restaurant-worthy!
