Ingredients -
1. marinara sauce (bottled or homemade whatever you like)
2. fresh basil
3. evaporated milk in a can (way less fat than cream but still creamy)
4. (optional) cooked gnocchi or tortellini pasta
In a sauce pan heat the sauce through. combine in the milk and add a little fresh basil (and gnocchi pasta if you have it)
The key to this soup is finding a marinara sauce you love!
Only add a little of the milk at a time until you like the consistency of the soup. To spice it up you can add cayenne pepper.
sooo good!!! the perfect partner, grilled cheese of course.
Grilled Cheese
1. Take some great wheat bread, or foccacia if you've got it.
2. Spread a little butter (or olive oil for less fat) sprinkle some garlic powder and dried basil.(if you have a garlic and herb that works great too) Place on your frying pan oiled side down.
3. Add your cheese - I like fresh mozzarella and asiago or an Italian blend all grated.
4. add your top piece of bread.... or for less carbs stick the (oven safe) pan under the broiler to melt cheese and just eat open faced.
Trust me - you'll never have plain grilled cheese again :)
