Healthy Spagetti that my kids LOVE!

OK it is rare for me to cook something that my kids devourer and even more rare for it to be 80% vegetables and they still devourer it! But this spaghetti is a hit!! And so easy!

• Normal spaghetti noodles
• Carrot (I peel it into thin strips then chop those into bite sized pieces.)
• tomato (deseeded and chopped)
• chopped red onion
• chopped white onion
• chopped and peeled zucchini (no seeds)
• Then whatever leftover meat you have on hand.. (since Im making this tonight and we have leftover chicken and steak that is what im using tonight.. but cooked crumbled bacon is great in it w hamburger meat.)
• butter (we use Country Crock light...)
• and cheese... (either mozzarella or shaker Parmesans is what we use)
• Seasonings.. (I use Salt, Pepper, a Emeril mix that i have in the pantry (ill put that recipe on here too if you want to use it.. but you only need a little bit of this..) then a small amount of garlic powder..)

Cook your noodles as directed, strain and set aside.. (mightwant to add a little butter to this just so they don't get sticky.. Now if your trying to save dishes just use the pot you used to cook your noodles in and put some butter in it and pour all the vegetables into the butter (you want a decent amount of butter since this is going to be your 'sauce' too.. but not tooo much you can always add more after..) Season you vegetables.. and remember you only need alittle of the Emeril Mix its kinda spicy! Now saute all this until it is soft.. you want your onion and Zucchini soft.. Now add the Meat of choice.. cook alittle longer just to get that hot.. Now simply add the noodles and get it all combined.. if you need more butter just add it here. you want it all coated.

Serve!! :) Top with whatever cheese the kids like on spaghetti!

See how easy was that!? Now I dont know how good this will work on kids that wont eat vegies if they see them, but hey if they dont care too much as long as it tastes good this will be a hit! Enjoy!
