Spaghetti


When we saw black bean spaghetti noodles at Costco (also available from Amazon and maybe some local grocery stores), we had to try to try it. The nutrition label does list some sugar, but we felt this was negligible. You will need to boil the noodles just like normal pasta (just follow the instructions on the packaging). It is not like true regular spaghetti (it does not seem to have the exact same texture and doesn't adhere to the sauce like wheat noodles), but it is better than spaghetti squash noodles or kelp noodles, and has the added benefit of lots of fiber. Plus, you get to eat something very close to spaghetti. For the sauce:

Ingredients:

One large onion, thinly sliced)
Three to four cloves of garlic, minced
Two portobella mushrooms (or comparable package), diced
1 to 1.5 pounds of ground turkey
Tablespoon of Italian seasoning (or oregano)
.5 tablespoon of salt
14 to 16 oz. can of marinara sauce (we used Trader Joe's because it had no sugar added)
14 to 16 oz. can of crushed tomatoes

Directions:

We used a big skillet. Saute the onions and garlic to caramelize. Add the turkey to brown. Add the sauce, seasonings, and shrooms. Let simmer for a while.

Put the noodles in bowl and put the sauce over it and serve.
