Pump up this classic Italian dish with lots of extra vegetables!
Here's why I LOVE this meal. It's easy, it's versatile, and it's a crowd pleaser at my house every time!
Oodles of noodles! If it were up to my son we'd eat noodles daily.
Recipe
Noodles of choice (I like the whole wheat spaghetti or veggie spaghetti because they twirl up nice with spiraled zucchini.)
Tomato sauce of choice
Olive oil
2 Zucchinis
1/2-1 Cup shredded carrots
1/-2 Cup shredded raddish
1 Bell pepper (color of choice)
1 Onion
Garlic
Oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Cook noodles according to package directions.
2. Chop, shred, or spiralize your veggies and add to a big sauce pan that's been heated with a little olive oil.
2. Cover with lid and let veggies steam and cook in the pan. After they've cooked for 5 minutes add in any desired spices and stir. Cook an additional 5 minutes or until veggies are tender to your liking. I add oregano or Italian seasoning, garlic, pepper and salt. Sometimes for extra heat I like to add red pepper flakes too.
3. Heat tomato sauce of choice.
4. Assemble it all on your plate, add cheese if so desired, open a nice bottle of red (optional for the 21+ crowd of course), and eat up!
