This is from the current issue of Clean Eating magazine. It looks like a unique and yummy sauce! I imagine one could leave out the meat with success, or sub in some TVP or soy crumbles to make this a veg delight! Ingredients:
13 ounces whole wheat spaghetti |
1 lb lean ground turkey |
1 onion, chopped |
1 garlic clove (i'll probably add more!) |
1 carrot, shredded |
1 plum tomato, chopped |
1 zucchini, chopped |
1 roasted red pepper |
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin |
10 ounces spaghetti sauce, low fat |
1 tablespoon reduced-fat cream cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook the pasta according to package directions.
2. Brown the ground turkey and add onion and garlic. Add carrots, tomato, and zucchini and saute 3-5 minutes.
3. Add red pepper, pumpkin, and pasta sauce (add water here if the sauce is too thick). Simmer 7-10 minutes.
4. Add the cream cheese and remove the pan from heat. Allow the cream cheese to melt, then mix the pasta into the sauce.
5. Allow the dish to stand 2 minutes before serving.
