Pasta with Naked Sauce

What do you do when you find yourself hungry on a Saturday night and have everything for a nice, quick pasta meal except sauce? You make Naked Sauce! I totally just invented this and the name. Basically, I was thinking that the meat and veggies are what is underneath the sauce -- so when you remove it, your sauce is Naked! It tastes kind of like meat loaf over pasta -- very yummy in my opinion.
