Spaghetti with Veggies – What can I eat that’s gluten free?

What can I eat Last week we had quite a few pizza ideas.  I don’t know if that was coincidence or if people thought there was a pizza theme since my post was about pizza.  Either way I enjoyed it.  Just to clarify, there is only a theme on the first Wednesday of each month.  You can see the list of upcoming themes as well as read the guidelines here.   Even when there is a theme, it is only a suggestion. 
============================
Have you ever noticed that sometimes the best meals are the ones where you just put together what you have and don’t follow a recipe?  This was one of those meals for us.  I’m still getting zucchini from my plant that I thought was done producing weeks ago.  I also have lots of tomatoes.  Therefore, I’ve been using those two vegetables in quite a few dinners.  Here’s what I did.
spaghetti with veggies
Cook a 12 oz. package of gluten free spaghetti noodles.  I used Tinkyada brown rice spaghetti.  It was very starch so I rinsed it and added a little olive oil after it cooked.
In a skillet heat a couple tablespoons of olive oil and sauté the following:
Add:
I had about 6 oz. of pizza sauce that needed to be used so I just threw it in.  When the veggies are cooked to your liking, and the meat is heated through, serve over spaghetti noodles.  My kids really enjoyed this meal.

Remember:  The theme for next week is appetizers.

This looks great, Linda! I've made similar meals from things laying around. If it's from the garden, you can't go wrong!
 
Hi Linda,

Mexican-inspired meals are a biggie in our house. Easy and delish!

I think the mark of a good home cook is when she knows what flavors will work well together and which ones won't. For me, this is great fun & an on-going learning process. I love to think about how to use this or that, especially when it means less waste.

I hate to admit it, but when I first started cooking I threw almost all of our leftovers away because I didn't know how to use them. Today, I'm pretty good at using up everything and making it taste great.

Great post & THANK YOU for hosting.
 
I love new meals that add in leftover ingredients. Great way to be creative and save time and money. This looks really good!
 
I love this dish! Yum!
 
I like the new look of the site! (been a while since I visited).

Very good idea for a pasta. I love my gluten free pasta and throw in some veggies n chicken and that's a great healthy meal.
 
This looks like a great dish to use all the fresh garden vegetables in.
