Parma Rosa Spaghetti recipe

Good Evening and Happy Friday to You!!

~~~

Thought I would post the Parma Rosa Spaghetti recipe.

If you like Spaghetti and you like Veggies, you are

gonna love it!! It is a layered dish really, you

put the spaghetti on a plate, then put the Parma

Rosa sauce on top of that then add the veggies

on top of that. with that said let's get started.

~~~

I usually start by making the sauce first.

This is my low-fat version, they do have a packet

you can buy, think it is made by Knorr and it is

called Parma Rosa Sauce and all you do is add milk,

heat and stir, but it has hydrogenated oils, so we

no longer eat that, so I looked it up online and

it really doesn't take but 2 sec. longer to do

my version.

Parma Rosa Sauce

.

1 14oz. can of Italian style diced tomatoes (drained)

or reg diced tomatoes will work too.

.

1 tsp. of basil and oregano

.

2 tsp. of garlic powder

.

1 cup of 1% or whatever type of milk you want

.

1/2 cup of fat free half and half or if you use regular milk

add another 1/2 cup of that

.

1/4 cup of grated parm plus or Parmesan Cheese

.

Put ingredients in a non stick sauce pan,

Stir ingredients together, turn stove to medium heat until it

comes to a boil, then turn it to low and simmer for about 10-12 mins.

stirring often. Then turn it off put a lid on it and let it sit until

everything else is ready.

Angel Hair Pasta

.

Now get the pot going for your pasta

as package directions say.

Then while the pot is boiling be cooking your

veggies at the same time

~~~

~~~

The Veggies.

.

2 tblsp. olive oil

.

3 onions sliced

.

3 cloves of garlic peeled and sliced

.

5 or 6 yellow squash sliced

.

2 small containers of fresh sliced mushrooms

.

8 plum tomatoes sliced, I have used compari

tomatoes, and canned diced tomatoes,

the fresh are better tho.

.

Use a medium non stick dutch oven,

add the olive oil, and heat on medium, then add the

onions and garlic, let those cook until the onions are

translucent, then add the squash and let it

cook until it is softened, then add the mushrooms,

and cook for about 5 mins. or you think they are done,

last add your tomatoes until they heat thru well.

~~~

Once your veggies are done, your pasta should be

done as well, So drain the pasta, put it on the plate,

put the parma sauce on top and add your veggies

on top of that. If you want sprinkle some

parmesan on the top.

~~~

If you want you could probably put the pasta in

a large bowl and mix it together with the Parma

sauce and then add the veggies. I have never

done that but it would probably work, don't see

why not. It will serve probably 6 or more, if you are

having salad and bread or fruit with it.

I usually have some watermelon or a toss salad

with it or sometimes we just have it all by itself.

Whatever works for you!!

~~~

It really isn't as hard as it sounds,

especially if you have the veggies already

cut up before you start, then it is a whiz

~~~

Bon appetit,

Hope you enjoy!!

Have a Great Weekend!!
