Corn and Carrot Spaghetti with mushrooms


Lately, i keep on experimenting recipes that will fit in my special diet, for some health reasons I am avoiding animal meat for a while, not that I am turning to be a vegetarian because I still have it once in a while, but since I want to be well and still enjoy the foods that i eat, creativity is needed and so I experiment on different recipes. I was craving for a lil' sweet pasta and so this is what i ended up with. Let's start!

INGREDIENTS:
1. Tomato Sauce of your choice
2. Can of Corn Kernel
3. Mushroom
4.Carrot
5. Bell pepper
6. Onion
7. Garlic
8. Cheese
9. Oil
10. Spaghetti pasta
11. Italian Seasoning
12. Salt
13. Pepper

1. Cook Pasta according to package instructions


2. Saute Onion, Garlic, Bell pepper, Corn, Mushroom




3. Pour the Tomato Sauce                                                 
4.  Add the Carrots, Italian seasoning, salt, Pepper.

























--Simmer for around 3-4mins. I put the Carrots on the last part because i want it crunchy. Make sure to mix it properly when you put the seasonings so that the taste will be balanced. For solid vegetarians, you can always skip the cheese. Instead of instant Tomato sauce, you can also puree your fresh tomatoes.


Enjoy your healthy no meat pasta! A complete healthy meal that is guilt free and enjoyable. Happy eating!
