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 ...

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:
- Choose the Right Vegetables: Select vegetables that can withstand high heat and maintain their texture, such as broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers. Leafy greens like spinach and kale are also great options.
- Prep Your Veggies: Wash and cut your vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking. If using frozen vegetables, thaw them thoroughly before adding them to the pan.
- Season Wisely: Use a combination of herbs, spices, and sauces to enhance the flavor of your veggie spaghetti. Garlic, chili flakes, and lemon zest are popular choices.
- Don't Overcook: Cook your vegetables until they are tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooked vegetables will lose their texture and nutrients.
- Add Some Protein: Boost the nutritional value of your veggie spaghetti by adding protein sources like grilled chicken, tofu, or lentils.
