Green Bean Spaghetti image

I love spaghetti but don't want to eat the pasta anymore so I brainstormed and realized that green beans might be a good substitute for pasta. I tried it out and it worked great. I now fix this at home and take it to parties, too. I've gotten many compliments on it. It was even included in a low carb recipe book a few years back...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

SAUTE IN SKILLET WITH A LITTLE OIL
1 medium onion (chopped)
1 medium green bell pepper (chopped)
ADD AND BROWN
1 lb ground beef (or turkey, etc)
salt and pepper to taste
1 Tbsp italian spices with oregano
1 tsp garlic powder (or to taste)
ADD AND COOK TIL BEANS ARE THAWED
3 c frozen cut green beans
ADD AND SIMMER TIL BEANS ARE DONE
1 can(s) tomato sauce (any kind)
1/2 c water
SPRINKLE WITH PARMESAN CHEESE AND SERVE

Steps:

  • 1. This really is a one dish meal -- I adjust the amount of green beans and meat (increase or decrease) to fit the situation and the number of people I'm feeding.
  • 2. I really do just dump the frozen green beans into the pan and cook until they are thawed, cover with sauce, and simmer til tender. Sometimes I add other frozen vegetables, too -- such as broccoli or okra
  • 3. I also like to add some more garlic powder and Italian spices for the last 5 minutes of cooking time to freshen up the flavors. You can also add a little more salt and pepper if you like at that time. Just taste it and see.

This recipe is a bit bland. I added some extra seasoning and it was much better.

I'm not a fan of garlic, so I omitted it from the recipe. It was still delicious.
