Categories     Dinner

Time 35m

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings (About 6 cups of sauce)

Number Of Ingredients 16

12 ounces spaghetti or pasta of choice
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup (140 grams) chopped onion
2 medium zucchini, chopped (1/2 pound)
2 medium yellow squash, chopped (1/2 pound)
3 garlic cloves, minced (1 tablespoon)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
One (12-ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (1 heaping cup)
2 to 3 teaspoons mushroom powder, optional, see notes
5 cups (1/2 pound) spinach leaves
Handful fresh basil leaves, plus more for garnish
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast for serving

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a wide skillet with sides over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally until translucent; 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add zucchini, yellow squash, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, and a generous pinch of salt then cook, stirring occasionally until softened but still with some crunch; 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook another minute. (When making this sauce, we usually end up using between 1 and 1 1/2 teaspoons of fine sea salt.)
  • Add the roasted red peppers, tomatoes, and mushroom powder. Bring to a low simmer and cook until the liquid has thickened and reduced by half; about 10 minutes. As the sauce cooks, use a spoon to break up the whole tomatoes into smaller pieces for a chunky sauce.
  • While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil then cook pasta according to package directions.
  • Take the sauce off of the heat, and then stir in the spinach and basil. Taste then adjust with additional salt if needed. Toss in the cooked pasta, and then leave for a minute so that the pasta absorbs some of the sauce and the spinach wilts. Toss again, and then serve with parmesan or nutritional yeast sprinkled on top.

VEGETABLE SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Vegetable Spaghetti Sauce image

This is a delicious, hearty, meatless spaghetti sauce. I like to add garden fresh vegetables to the sauce. I have used spaghetti sauce which I've purchased from Aldi's, (2-26 oz. jars of Mama Cozzi Traditional Premium Spaghetii Sauce), as well as, sauce which I've purchased from Sam's Club (2-32 oz. jars Classico Tomato & Basil Pasta Sauce), and both tasted great! If you choose to add the red pepper flakes, I have found the 1/2 teaspoon does make the sauce a bit spicy, so if you prefer your sauce less spicy, you may want to add less, or omit it all together.

Categories     Sauces

Time 40m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup diced carrot
4 cups chopped zucchini, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/4-1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
4 ounces canned sliced mushrooms, drained (*See note)
2 (26 -32 ounce) jars traditional premium spaghetti sauce
cooked spaghetti
kraft's grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven, over medium to medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil.
  • Add the onion, carrots, zucchini, and red pepper flakes.
  • Saute/cook vegetables for 4 minutes; stirring often.
  • Then add the green bell peppers, and cook for 3 minutes more; stirring often.
  • Add both jars of the spaghetti sauce, and the canned mushrooms, and stir.
  • When sauce starts to come to a boil, within a few minutes, lower heat to a simmer, then cover, and simmer the vegetable/spaghetti sauce for 15 minutes.
  • Serve sauce over cooked spaghetti, and top with grated Parmesan cheese.
  • *Note: 10/19/09 Today I made this sauce, but with a few modifications. Instead of adding canned mushrooms, I sautéed 8-ounces of fresh, sliced, mushrooms, in a seperate skillet along with 1-1/2 to 2 tablespoons of butter. I cooked the mushrooms over a medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes. I also cut the zucchini and bell peppers into 3/4-inch pieces. I sauted the zucchini along with the carrots and onion, for 7 minutes, and after I added the bell peppers, I then added a 3/4 teaspoon of the red pepper flakes, and I sauted the entire vegetables for 6 to 8 minutes more. Finally I added the cooked mushrooms, the 2 jars of pasta sauce, and I threw in a pound of already cooked Italian meatballs, and simmered the sauce with the meatballs, while I cooked the spaghetti. This made a large pot full (to feed more than 6 people), and the sauce was nice and thick.

  • Serves 9: 1 serving = 3/4 cup 290cal, 6g fat, 36g carb, 4g fibre, 18g protein.

Tips:

  • Prepare Vegetables in Advance: To save time during cooking, prep your vegetables beforehand by washing, peeling, and cutting them. This way, they're ready to go when you need them.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients greatly affects the final dish. Choose fresh, flavorful vegetables and a good quality spaghetti. Fresh herbs like basil or parsley can also enhance the taste.
  • Cook Spaghetti Al Dente: Spaghetti should be cooked al dente, meaning it should have a slight bite to it. Overcooked spaghetti becomes mushy and loses its texture.
  • Reserve Pasta Water: Don't pour out the pasta water! It contains starch that helps bind the sauce to the spaghetti. Reserve about a cup of pasta water before draining the spaghetti.
  • Don't Overcook Vegetables: Vegetables should retain their vibrant color and slight crunch. Overcooking them makes them soggy and bland.
  • Add Vegetables Gradually: Add vegetables to the sauce in stages, starting with those that take longer to cook, such as carrots or broccoli. Then add softer vegetables like zucchini or spinach towards the end.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or oregano add a burst of flavor to the dish. Sprinkle them on top of the spaghetti before serving.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti with vegetables is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With its combination of healthy vegetables, flavorful sauce, and al dente spaghetti, it's a satisfying meal that's easy to make. Experiment with different vegetable combinations, sauces, and herbs to create your own unique version of this classic pasta dish.
