[ from our recipe archives] Spaghetti with Broccoli

[Guest guest]

Here is a recipe shared by Jenny M. in 2001.

 

Wendy's Recipes - Spaghetti

 

Ingredients

1 can tomato sauce

1 cup broccoli slaw (buy prepared or shred broccoli stems yourself)

1 tablespoon sundried tomatoes (chopped)

1/2 teaspoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon basil

Garlic to taste

Salt to taste

Spaghetti

Optional: shredded parmesan, romano, or asiago cheese (this adds fat, so use

sparingly)

 

Time:

1/2 hour or more to simmer the sauce (put it on to simmer while you go for a

walk), 10 minutes to boil the spaghetti.

 

Preparation

Steam the broccoli slaw - I put it in the microwave in a covered bowl for 2

minutes with a tablespoon of water. It doesn't smell too good, but don't

worry - that won't transfer to the sauce.

In a saucepan, add the tomato sauce, steamed broccoli slaw, sundried

tomatoes, oregano, basil, and garlic. Heat on medium/low to low for at

least 1/2 hour, stirring occasionally. You can also heat this all day in a

crockpot on low!

Boil the spaghetti in salted water, drain.

Add the sauce to the spaghetti. Add cheese if desired.

 

Nutrition

The broccoli slaw provides 100% of your vitamin C for the day, and the

tomato sauce and broccoli have a big dose of Vitamin A. Your serving of the

spaghetti determines how many starch/bread exchanges to count. This is a

very lowfat and high nutrition spaghetti - great for endurance athletes such

as walkers. The sundried tomatoes give it body and richness without adding

fat.

 

Variations

Add mushrooms, onions, sweet red peppers

Fresh basil or oregano instead of dried.

Chopped fresh tomatoes or chopped canned tomatoes instead of tomato sauce.

 

Happy Cooking!

PT. We do not get bags of slaw over here so please could you explain

what broccoli slaw comprises? Slaw here is a tub of grated cabbage and

carrot and perhaps onion in mayonnaise but I don't get the impression

that this is what you are talking about.

TIA
