This is a very chunky "sauce". It really is more like eggplant and meat with tomato chunks too... over pasta. I adapted a recipe that I had made many times before to fit with the Weight Watchers Core program. It turned out great and I thought I would share. It is really fabulous with crumbled low fat turkey or chicken sausage which is not core... I chose to spend a few points that way. But you could easily substitute 93% lean ground beef or turkey to make it 100% core.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
3 crushed fresh garlic cloves (to taste)
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 cup fresh basil
1 eggplant, cut very small with skin on
1 lb 93% fat free lean ground turkey or ground beef
whole wheat penne (or your favorite pasta)

Directions

1
This comes together quickly. Start boiling your water for the pasta before cooking the sauce otherwise you'll be sitting around waiting for your pasta to be done.
2
Brown ground turkey or beef in its own pan. Set aside.
3
In new pan, add olive oil and cook crushed garlic. Add can of tomatoes & tomato paste. The tomato paste is just for thickness so add till you get your desired thickness. Add fresh basil.
4
Turn down heat to simmer until sauce thickens a bit. Add ground beef/turkey and eggplant.
5
Serve over whole wheat pasta.
