The ingredients for Spartan Spaghetti are:

1 cup spaghetti
1 med. Onion, sliced
1 large Red Pepper, sliced
1 large Yellow Pepper, sliced
1 package Canadian Bacon, sliced into strips
1 teaspoon minced garlic (optional)
2 tablespoons Tomato Paste (more or less)
1 tablespoon HOT pasta water

Here is how you make Spartan Spaghetti:

Start the pasta water. In a seperate pan, add the sliced canadian bacon. Cook until it starts to color and render out some liquid. Next add to that pan the garlic and onion. Let those cook, stirring frequently so the garlic doesn't burn to the bottom. Once the onions have started to go translucent, add the Peppers (red and yellow). Cook for a few minutes, or until desired texture. (Note: Our pasta water is usually boiling now and we add that. We cook our peppers until the pasta is aldente, and the peppers have come to aldente also. It is a personal preference on how much crunch you want your peppers to have.)Once peppers are cooked, add the tomato paste directly to the veggies and stir. Depending on the coating and how well it's mixing in, add 1/2 - 1 tablespoon of the hot pasta water to help it all mix. Drain the pasta well and add to the veggie mixture. Toss well to coat. Add a little salt to taste (or not) and we put parmesan on the table as an option. Enjoy!* This recipe easily feeds 4, add more veggies before you add more pasta to up the number it serves. This meal is about the veggies. :)Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MELLOSIGNER.
