Between work, carpools, school, extracurricular activities, and family fun, I am sure that as a mom meal planning is always on your mind. What to serve for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Not to mention, school lunches. I am always on the hunt for easy weekday meals. Pizza and pasta may not always win the most of the healthiest food category but it is definitely one of my family's favorites. Besides, who does not love pizza and pasta!

This recipe is flat out delicious! I used Rawspicebar's Sun-Dried Pizza Sauce and Pizza recipe. However, I used it on pasta instead. What I love about this recipe is that you can make the sauce beforehand. Making it ahead ( maybe on weekends) will save you time during the busy weekdays. The sauce is so tasty, you can not just use it as a pizza sauce but also as a pasta sauce or a dipping sauce. One of the things that I certainly love about the Monthly Spice Box is that recipe cards are included. So when you are not in an "experimental mood" you can follow the recipe given. I have previously written a review about RawSpice Bar ( recipes included), you can read it HERE.

The portion sizes of the spices are all perfect. Recipes are NOT hard to follow at all. If you love to eat out and you are always open for a new taste, why not try the monthly spice subscription.
