I ate spaghetti squash with veggie sauce!

I put 2 servings of this sauce on half a spaghetti squash (cooked 12 minutes in the microwave)

Less than 200 calories, and I'm so full I couldn't eat a piece of Brownie if it was right in front of me!!! Well... maybe I could...



Here's the recipe:

1/2 a bag of Arctic Garden's spaghetti vegetable mix (carrots, celeri, onions and green pepper)
1 tablespoon of butter for frying the vegetables
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 can of tomato soup
2 teaspoons of sugar
75 grams of dry TVP (texturized vegetable protein)
season to taste

makes 11 servings


Enjoy!

Always fun to play around in the kitchen figuring healthier foods. But I would probably make two changes at least at first glance to your recipe below.

1) Take the time and dice up fresh tomatoes yourself.. I'm sure if you look at what is in that can of diced tomatoes probably a lot of stuff like probably primarily salt that most get too much of anyhow.

2) The can of tomato soup is probably just as bad or worse than the diced tomatoes. Is it a cream of tomato soup? Or something more like minestrone? I would try to create an alternative ingredient for the soup... Probably using some sun dried tomatoes because of their condensed flavor with some spices you like and to give it the creaminess to use a plain bio yogurt. It will probably fill you up just as much and be healthier for you in the long run.

Eleven servings? Are you sure??? Maybe that's how the calories come out so low. Just saying.

Yes, I counted how many big spoonfuls I had, and it was 11! I used 2 big spoonfuls because I had 2 servings, and it was still less than 200 calories!!

Good!

This is good too - lean taco meat (seasoned) and tomato over spaghetti squash. I like that better than on a tortilla.

stongjos

Thank you for the suggestions! When I have a little bit more time, I will try them!!

Sounds good!
