I agree with you even though i like both red and white sauces. Tomatoes are one of the power foods and it has less calories compared to a cream based sauce. I also like my food spicy and that is uited well with a tomato based sauce.

You're right...I can't imagine spicy white cream sauce...I just think chili doesn't go well with milk and cream :)

I have to say i prefer Red as well. Although white sause with chicken and pasta is really good as well. But ill reach for a red sause first. :)

Basil,thyme and cheese works better with red sauce that's why I really prefer red. :)

Same here!
I also prefer red sauce over white cause white sauce tend to me too creamy that you feel bloated before you even enjoy your pasta.
A also prefer my tomato base sauce sour than sweet.
Although I enjoy a nice sweet blend tomato sauce once in a while.

I've always like tomato sauces better than alfredo type sauces because of the same reason. Awhile back I tried a spicy cajun chicken dish with spicy alfredo because I like spicy foods and even though I liked the little "bite" the alfredo was still too rich for me and I could only eat a little at a time.

I like both sauces because some pasta are thick and absorb the white sauce very good, but other thin pasta I love red sauce. I just love anything with pasta really because I like Italian food. Have a nice day and a plus to you.

Thank you. Pasta is one of my favorite foods too. I even include this in my list of comfort foods :)

From what I have observed, it depends on my mood but I end up ordering white sauces more. I really like sauces with lots of cream and cheese. EEEK! Bad for the trigliceryds. Most of the time, I try to look for combination sauces but not a lot of resto offer that. I love to taste different Carbonara recipes. But I also like Bakes Lasagna a lot. For my birthday yesterday, my mom made Fettuccini Alfredo... hmmm... all this talk is making me hungry. At times, I also like to eat pasta with pesto sauce. Not all like this because they do not like the taste of the pine nuts and the basil... it's actually healthy though.

It all depends on my mood and what I'm gonna eat with my pasta. I usually reach for the white sauce, especially for my zitti. I like having it with pizza. But if I'm craving for a seafood pasta or if I have garlic bread, I prefer red sauce. But I like both with lots and lots of parmesan cheese.
