Brown lean ground beef in a large skillet until done. Drain & rinse the ground beef & set the skillet aside to saute the veggies & make the sauce.Chop or use 'spiralizer' to cut squash into noodles. Chop/dice onions, peppers & celery. In the same skillet used for the beef, add the chopped onions, peppers, & celery & saute in a little olive oil. Add the spaghetti sauce, tomatoes, & seasonings & simmer for about 10 minutes. Boil water to cook the whole wheat spaghetti noodles. Add noodles & cook until almost done (al dente) - about 8-10 minutes - then add the squash noodles (or chopped squash) to the spaghetti noodles & let them cook for another couple of minutes. Drain the pasta/squash noodles & then add them to the sauce in the skillet & let them simmer for a few minutes. Note: If the sauce is too thick after the noodles are added, add some water or tomato juice (like V8) to thin it. Add more seasonings or some Parmesan cheese (not included in nutrients) if desired.Serving Size:?Makes about 8 (1-cup) servings
