Making Spaghetti

At first I thought I would make a bunch of my own recipes and take pictures of all of the food that I make.  But to honest, I don't really have the patience.  So what I'm going to do is look for basic recipes that others have made and then give you alternatives to their instructions.  The first recipe I will be altering is a spaghetti recipe.  I just did a quick google search for Simple Spaghetti Sauce and this was the first to pop up: Simple Spaghetti Sauce. The ingredients list is very very simple.  And already it avoids meat and dairy.  But there is more you can do with this.  This recipe requires sugar.  Instead of adding sugar, you can actually finely dice a carrot.  Carrots get sweeter as you cook them.  If you are pressed on time you can even just drop a carrot and tomato into the blender.

If you think that this recipe is a little light without meat, there are many different vegetables that you can add to bulk it up.  A very simple way to go is to add button mushrooms.  I would cut them into four pieces and just drop them in the sauce.  I also like to use zucchini.  You can just dice it up and throw it in the sauce.  Let me know what you added to it to change it up.
