Recipes for Low Fat peanut sauce?

I bought a lean cuisuine TV Dinner that had thin spaghetti with peanut sauce. It was so good but I can't really afford to buy these dinners all the time. So I'm currently looking for a peanut sauce recipe so I can make it myself. The problem is, I've searched online but most have so many different ingredients! Plus I'm having a hard time finding any that are low fat (well they do not indicate they are low fat so i just assumed it had high calorie/fat content). Also, I want a bland sauce. My friend, who is half thai, told me most peanut sauces are spicy, which I don't like.Recipes for Low Fat peanut sauce?
