Okay, I think I recall you saying you couldn't eat garlic or onion – maybe this is why commercially prepared tomato sauce doesn't agree with you as most of them have one or both of these in it.
I have a recipe at home for oven-roasted tomato sauce that uses plain old store-bought tomatoes – you can add whatever spices/seasonings you can tolerate and voila! you will have what should be a safe tomato sauce. I will post it later when I get home.
Like Melanie said, you can use fresh cut up tomatoes for chili, or try buying organic canned diced tomatoes that have no added seasonings – then add your own. For a Hamburger Helper style meal, brown some lean ground chicken or turkey, add some water and cut up tomatoes (or safe canned diced tomatoes), a packet of MSG-free beef bouillon for flavour, some spiral pasta and simmer all until the pasta is cooked (adding more water if necessary).
One thing my mom used to make when I was little was very good – cook some ground chicken or turkey, add some cooked macaroni, diced tomatoes, and ketchup (yes, ketchup!), and place all in a casserole dish. Bake until hot. My sister and I used to gobble this up. I'd forgotten about it until now – lol!
For pasta salad, cook some spiral or macaroni pasta, and rinse with cold water to cool. Add any safe veggies you like – mushrooms, green beans, etc., and some tuna or cooked chicken if you like. Add just enough light or fat-free mayo to hold everything together. Sprinkle with paprika, mustard powder, or any other seasoning you can tolerate. It's tough to mess up a pasta salad. You could even try a homemade vinaigrette – mix 1 part oil to 3 parts balsamic vinegar, and mix through the salad – a little goes a long way so don't use too much! As I said before, you could even dress it up with fresh peaches or strawberries, especially in the summertime.
I will think some more about pasta dishes that don't need tomato sauce and get back to you!
