It makes more than a quart, about 40 ounces.  Says that it served 4-6, but it can serve more if you're using it as a sauce for spaghetti or other noodles.

The recipe says brown onions, but I would say yellow onions instead.

Topic: RE: Is it possible to get overweight on a vegetarian diet. I need low carb low fat vege recipes.

I was vegetarian for 3 months. I felt great had lots of energy and got on the scale and had gained 30 lbs! Apparently all the carbs I was eating were not doing me any favors! I went back to lean meats and vegetables and very little carbs.

Sure, here it is:  My husband found it in our local newspaper and it's the only one he uses now.  We makes huge batches of it and process it in quart jars, so we can have some for months.

Homemade Marinara Sauce: very WLS friendly

   2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil

   1 cup brown onion, chopped

   1 cup mushrooms, sliced

   3-6 cloves minced garlic

   1  28.5 oz. can crushed tomatoes

   1  14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes

   ½ tsp dried oregano

   ½ tsp dried basil

   ¼ tsp salt

   ¼ tsp black pepper

   1 tsp sugar

   Garnish with sprig of fresh basil

Saute onions and mushrooms, sprinkle with a little salt.  Cook over medium low heat for five minutes.  Add garlic and cook for about a minute.

Dump in cans of tomatoes and herbs, salt and pepper.  Bring to a simmer and cook for 25 minutes.

Add sugar to counter some of the acidity.  Cook for 5 minutes. 

Optional: add sausage and/or black olives to the mix.

Topic: RE: Tuna noodle casserole

This recipe looks just like what I made "in my previous life".  I'm 7 months out with my RNY.  I cannot have egg/flour noodles, flour, or peas...all 3 items are too high in carbs.
