Healthy Monster Spaghetti

In line with the celebration of the National Nutrition Month, I would like to share a spaghetti recipe with a healthy twist in a kid-friendly presentation. I know that it is very important for us mommies that our children get enough nutrients everyday no matter how picky they are, so I suggest you try this at home. I'm sure your little ones will like and enjoy eating it.






I discovered this brand of healthy spaghetti in the grocery over 5 months ago. It is considered healthy because it has real malunggay (moringa leaves) and carrot bits, high in fiber, and made with durum wheat semolina. By the way, their slogan says "Spaghealthy Goodness Without the Veggie Taste!"




To come up with monster-looking spaghetti, just slice some chicken sausages into bite size pieces, push around 6 to 8 sticks of pasta through each slice, then cook the spaghetti according to package direction. You may also use hotdogs instead of chicken sausages or whatever is available in your pantry.

After cooking this nutritious spaghetti recipe for the first time, I realized that this monster-looking meal is not for kids alone, adults love it too! My cousin who is considering some weight loss supplements in order to trim down extra weight was able to finish a large plate. She was convinced with the health content of this spaghetti to the point of setting aside her regular less carbo diet.

That would be all for the National Nutrition Month. Stay healthy everyone!
