Hectic Spaghetti Dinner
February 17, 2011 in Main Dish, Vegetables by Joyce Bunderson
Making this style of spaghetti sauce triples the volume of vegetables. You can make it without the meat just as you and your family prefer. Because the sauce has 380 milligrams of sodium per serving, you may decide as I did, to add no salt to the pasta water nor more to the sauce than it already has. It’s not a fancy dinner, but the flavors were quite delicious. The calories of the Hectic Spaghetti dinner are a small fraction of most pizzeria pizzas. If you haven’t tried whole-wheat pasta in the past year or so, do so; it’s so much better than it was several years ago. The texture and flavor have come a long way.
