Pasta is probably one of my favorite foods; let’s blame my Italian heritage…  I rarely eat pasta though because I tend to have a tough time limiting myself to the appropriate serving size. But when I do have it I like to make a veggie loaded marinara sauce to top it. Super easy to make and I love knowing there is no HFCS or sugar added! If only I had the ambition to make homemade pasta….

If you’re feeling extra veggie love or adventurous try vegetable noodles!  I recently had been gifted a spiralizer which might be one of my new favorite kitchen appliances! I have only spiralized zucchini and sweet potato so far but it is a pretty awesome contraption.  Directions are included below if you want to have extra veggieful pasta for cooking your zucchini noodles. Don’t forget the garlic bread!
