Freezer Spaghetti Sauce

Freezer Spaghetti Sauce is Keto, Low Carb, Paleo, Whole 30, Gluten Free and Dairy Free! It is great for meal prep; Freeze or Can!

I use this recipe for Freezer Spaghetti Sauce for spaghetti or pizza.  It is great for either!  This is the perfect recipe for meal planning. It can be divided up many different ways to be used in several different recipes.

It freezes perfectly and is so nice to pull out for a quick, easy, delicious family meal later.

If you want to save freezer room, you could also pressure can it.

If you have ever felt overwhelmed by making your own spaghetti sauce, you don’t need to feel that way any more! This recipe is so easy that you will be giving it out like a pro in no time.

What to use Freezer Spaghetti Sauce for:

It is easy to dump in a pot, enjoy the smell of meat and tomatoes and garlic in the house for a couple of hours and then pour over traditional noodles or a low carb and gluten free option of zoodles or even French cut string beans.

Quinoa is a nutritious, gluten free option.  We have done all of those at our house.

Other low carb options I have tried are Palmini Linguine (found in Walmart in the gluten free section) and Shirataki Spaghetti (found in Walmart in the fresh vegetable section). Both were good. I liked the Palmini better. Both needed a good rinse and good boil to make them softer. The shirataki did tend to be rubbery (in my opinion; many like them). I will buy the Palmini again and keep them on hand. Here the sauce is pictured over Palmini.

Notes:

If you want a smaller batch to cook in the crock pot, Try Crock Pot Spaghetti or Pizza Sauce

This recipe makes a lot.  It is hard to judge a serving since it could be used so many different ways.

Diced tomatoes and tomato sauce measurements do not need to be exact, just have about twice as many diced as sauce.  Sometimes I use the big 105 oz. can from Sam’s Club for the sauce and sometimes three 28 oz. cans; whatever I have on hand.

A Shortcut:

This is an optional step but if you plan to make this often, it saves time when you make it again. As I measure out the seasonings for my pot, I also add the same to a small container. The next time I already have over half of the ingredients measured and ready to dump in the pot!
