Emily recently bought us the "Deceptively Delicious" cook book and we love the ideas but not all of the recipes work for people on the go (or better, aspiring, but not-quite-getting-it chefs). This is a modified/simplified version of spaghetti:
Ingredients:
1. Spaghetti Sauce (whatever strikes your fancy)
2. 1-2 cups chopped carrots
3. 1-2 cups chopped broccoli
4. Parmesan Cheese
5. 1- 1 1/2 lbs 93/7 hamburger meat
6. whole wheat spaghetti noodles
Directions:
1. Blend carrots and broccoli together (blender or food processor) and set aside.
2. Cook Noodles per directions, drain.
3. Empty spaghetti sauce into a mixing bowl and stir in the broccoli and carrots. (You cannot taste the veggies!)
4. Cook meat, rinse, drain, and add to the sauce.
If you want to add more veggies to the mix, I would suggest yellow squash and/or bell peppers. The taste of the veggies is dulled if not eliminated in the sauce so little ones and picky eaters will never suspect. In the cook book she recommends adding the broccoli to the sauce and mixing the carrots with the meat by making meatballs, your choice!
