A classic like spaghetti can be made to work for almost every diet. I like mine loaded up with veggies and with tofu noodles.
Garlic (I like crushed frozen cubes but any will work)
Tofu noodles (or any pasta)
Ground beef-extra lean
Veggies- whatever you have in the house is fine my favorites are: mushrooms, peppers and onions
Olive Oil- I buy imported oil from O'Live A Little in South Windsor but any kind will work
Your favorite sauce- I like chunky Ragu
Shredded mozzarella cheese (I use reduced fat)
Red pepper flakes (optional)
Sauté the veggies with garlic and olive oil until they start to brown. Meanwhile, in a separate pan sauté the ground beef with garlic (I also add red pepper flakes to make it a little spicy) until browned.
Drain the beef and add to the veggies. Add the sauce and allow all to simmer together. Rinse and drain noodles. I like to sauté them for a couple minutes as well before adding to the mix. Mix all together and add a little mozzarella cheese to the dish to give it a hearty thinness. Serve and enjoy!! Yummy!!
I served with a salad and bread. Also had strawberry shortcake for dessert. Everything was so delicious and there were tons of left overs for lunches the next day.
