I don't like a plain ol' can of spaghetti sauce on my pasta, but I don't really have the patience or skill to make my own from scratch. So how about a nice compromise? No one will recognize this as stuff from a jar after you add your own touches! Here's how I make my own healthy, delicious sauce. (Try it on cooked spaghetti squash for a nice change!)

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 (24 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce (I like Classico Florentine Spinach & Cheese)
1 lb ground turkey (or not, if you want vegetarian)
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 red onion, diced
1 zucchini, diced
1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms

Directions

1
Dump your jars of sauce in a big pot, and begin simmering them on a back burner.
2
In a frying pan, brown the ground turkey. (You can use ground beef, too, but turkey is usually healthier and no one knows the difference once it's cooked into the sauce. Italian sausage would be good, too!).
3
Add cooked meat to sauce.
4
In the frying pan, add your vegetables. Cook until tender, and add to the sauce.
5
Let the sauce simmer to mix the flavors, and when you're ready: ENJOY!
