This recipe is not super veggie-sentric but I do try to add as many veggies to it to make it healthier. I also use my favorite jarred organic mushroom spaghetti sauce from Trader Joes which doesn’t have any cheese or soy added. What’s even more awesome is this recipe can be done in under 30 minutes. It’s my quick go to when I don’t have a plan which usually happens about once a week. It goes great with my Monster Noodles.
