There are a number of dishes that are difficult to make in a healthy manner. Sausage and Spaghetti is one of them. Combine high fat sausages with high carb spaghetti - the perfect one-two punch to ruin your diet.
Yet, I grew up with it, and I don't want to live without it. So with that in mind...my version.
Caveat - adjust amounts for numbers your feeding. Below is for 4 people. Or 2 with leftovers.
Ingredients
1 Onion, diced medium
1 med zucchini, diced medium
8 oz fresh mushroom, quartered if large, halved if small
Archer Farms (Target brand) Chicken and Spinach cooked sausage - leave whole or slice
1 jar spaghetti sauce (Bertolli) - try for something with limited fat and sugar. If using no sugar sauce, be prepared to add some sugar or other sweetener - it is often to acid without
1 box Rozoni Smart Taste Pasta - 2 oz per person - or less!
1 bag frozen green beans
Cooking instructions
At the same time….do the following three things
1) Saute with 1 tsp oil - onion, zucchini, mushroom, sausage. You can cook separately if you pan is not large enough - that has the added benefit of cooking them to their preferred doneness. If you have vegetarians in the house do the sausage separately and serve on the side.
2) Nuke green beans
3) Cook pasta (don’t over cook), drain
When all are cooked, mix all together in the pasta pot
(after you drained out the pasta) with the jar of pasta sauce. Heat and serve.
Serve with salad if you like.
