    Could you use peppers as a base? Perhaps peppers, chilli and garlic? I guess you could add other vegetables in as well like courgette or sweetcorn! Sprinkle with parmesan and hey presto! I would eat it any way :D

    alfredo's like really creamy isn't it?

    you could make something similar but without the cream using milk... cook up some onion & maybe some mushrooms in some butter, then add some flour and milk (the same way you would a white sauce, add same volume of flour as butter etc) :)

    then add cheese!

    nice think and gloopy, but probably still pretty fattening :p

    and noodles are Chinese! that what I thought you meant when I clicked this thread :) that said, soy sauce goes well with pasta, I think there was a good salmon dish that used that, cant remember it though I'm afraid :chin:

    pesto is nice, or make it fancy like this http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2915/prawn-sweetcorn-and-runner-bean-pasta.jsp

    creamy sauces don't have to be fattening. alfredo is high in fat. try something like this

    or bolognaise?

    And here I was hoping for something that just came in a jar. :p

    Though those suggestions do sound good, and that picture looked good.

    Thank you all so far (and keep em coming ;))

    My favourite pasta sauces out of a jar are the Lloyd Grossman ones the flavours are:

    Tomato and Chilli
    Tomato and Basil
    Smokey Bacon
    Puttanesca
    Sweet Red Pepper
    Tomato and Chargrilled Vegetables
    Tomato and Roasted Garlic
    Carbonara

    In fact, if I buy a sauce in a jar, I always think this is the best make, the sauces always tend to taste great, especially the Thai Green Curry and the Jalfrezi Sauce. Yum Yum!
