Question by : What are some pasta sauces that kids will enjoy?
My daughte loves pasta and especially spaghetti, however I am sick to death of eating spaghetti. What are some sauces, other than marinera, that can be used on various types of pasta?
Best answer:
Answer by Joanne A. W
Look up the many jars of different types of sauces on your supermarket’s shelves. All you need to do is heat, pour over the pasta, and then eat. Ask a clerk to show you where to find them.
There are also many many many boxes and other dry containers that are filled with the pasta noodles with a packet of flavors inside the containers to pour over the pasta as you cook it.
Ask a clerk to show you where to find these boxes and other containers.

i would say any kind of cheese based sauce, as most kids love mac and cheese or cheesy things. or try alfredo, which is a white sauce that has parmesan cheese in it. you could throw in some chicken and/or broccoli to bump up the nutrients in it.
I use cookeryclub to make the only two basic sauces you’ll ever need- 1 is a tomato sauce
1 tin of toms and a tin of water, a chopped onion, 2 cloves garlic crushed, 1/2 red pepper diced, 1 carrot diced and a stick of celery – simmer for 30 minutes with the lid off until all the veg are tender – liquidize and stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato puree.
It’s healthy and home made with lots of veg hidden in it – add chopped meats, olives, capers, corn, peas anything you fancy.
The other is to make a homemade white sauce – add anything.
You can bake both with a handful of grated cheese on top.
Here’s a bunch we use all the time!
