This original recipe was made before I became a Vegetarian. I still eat this amazing recipe, but the ingredient list has been altered some. Instead of turkey or chicken I replace with Morningstar's Beef Crumbles to make a meat sauce or even tofu.
ReplyDeleteInstead of using olive oil, I use Pam to saute the peppers and onions with fresh mushrooms rather than can.
Additionally I make my own sauce using 1 4oz can of no salt added tomato sauce and 1 14oz can of no salt added diced tomatoes (oregano & basil) blend and add in a few sprinkles of Mrs. Dash Italian blend to the sauce. I cook the sauce while the squash is in the mircrowave & in another pan saute veggies and meatless crumbles before adding to sauce! Now you have a healthier version to this original recipe and it's vegetarian:)
