Posh pasta sauce

Options
Someone has given me a lovely jar of garlicky tomato pasta sauce.

What can I do with it apart from just add it to cooked pasta. Son and BF will probably ask "where's the meat?"

What can I add to it to make it more of a meal rather than a snack? I thought about adding some bacon, but what else?

    You could make a tomato and sausage pasta sauce with it, or use it in a pasta bake with some meat if you really need meat in the meal.
  • Things you could add:

    * Roasted veggies (asparagus, courgette, chestnut mushrooms, red pepper, artichoke hearts).

    * Chopped olives, capers and chilli flakes to make a puttanesca sauce.

    * Sauteed courgette and onion, swirl in some pesto and top with pine nuts.

    * Roasted red, yellow and orange peppers with fresh basil.

    You could also use it in lasagne, cannelloni or as pizza sauce.

    HTH!
    I want to move to theory. Everything works in theory.
  • I would add bacon to it, use some nice penne pasta and serve with a crisp green salad
