Homemade Spaghettios and Lunchbox Ideas
Homemade Spaghettios are easier than you think! Plus, I snuck some carrots in for an extra dose of veggies.
Servings 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked anellini pasta
- ¼ cup carrots cooked then pureed
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- ¼ cup milk I used 2%
- 1 teaspoon parmesan cheese
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook your pasta until done. Set aside.1 cup uncooked anellini pasta
- While the pasta is cooking, in another medium sauce pan over medium heat, add tomato sauce and pureed carrots and heat through.1 cup tomato sauce, 1/4 cup carrots
- Reduce the heat to a low simmer then whisk in the milk, parmesan cheese, and pinch of salt.1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon parmesan cheese, pinch of salt
- Pour in the cooked pasta and stir to combine.
Notes
- I made "steam in the bag" frozen carrots in the microwave then pureed them.
- I had a bit of trouble finding circle pasta (they're called anellini, FYI). My Kroger doesn't carry it and neither did Whole Foods. I ended up getting it at a local Italian market that has every shape of pasta imaginable.
