VEGGIE SPAGHETTI
Both kids and adults like this one. You probably have most of the ingredients in your pantry already...and if you don't have cream, use 2 cups of milk. A great dish to freeze and serve at a later time. If you like a spicier tomato sauce, feel free to add your own Italian spices: garlic, basil, oregano, green pepper, etc ...

DELICIOUS AND EASY TURKEY AND VEGGIE SPAGHETTI

VERY VEGGIE SPAGHETTI SAUCE MMB
I am trying to incorporate more veggies into my meals. This is an easy way to do it. I like to serve it over baked spaghetti squash. You can easily omit the meat and make it vegetarian, or add some Hot Italian sausage to kick it up a bit.

Steps:
- 1. In a large pan, brown the ground beef, garlic and onion together until beef is no longer pink. Drain the fat off.
- 2. Add the veggies and herbs and simmer until the veggies are tender.
- 3. These are rough estimates of amounts. Use more or less to suit your tastes.
- 4. ** In the summer when the garden is coming in, I can tomatoes and grate zucchini for the freezer. I also dehydrate herbs for the winter.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your spaghetti a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
- Cook the vegetables al dente. This means cooking them until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. This will help them retain their nutrients and flavor.
- Use a flavorful sauce. A good sauce will bring all the flavors of the vegetables together. Some good options include a tomato sauce, a pesto sauce, or a cream sauce.
- Add some protein. If you want a more filling meal, you can add some protein to your spaghetti. Some good options include grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
- Serve with a side salad or bread. This will help to round out the meal and make it more satisfying.
Conclusion:
Veggie spaghetti is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give veggie spaghetti a try. You won't be disappointed!
