This spaghetti with green sauce recipe is perfect for St. Patrick’s day and it’s healthy too! I enjoyed making this. It tasted soooo good. 🙂
It’s versatile. Don’t be afraid to experiment with it. Add the ingredients you like or have on hand.
You can use any meat (or leave the meat out). I used mooseburger because I’m allergic to beef.
I like to add greens into any meal that I can. Sometimes I’ll use kale instead. Sometimes I’ll add zucchini. You can leave all vegetables out if you prefer a more traditional spaghetti.
DISCLAIMER: I don’t generally measure my ingredients. I tried my best to estimate what I use, but I just throw things in depending on what I have, what I want to use, and to suit my taste.
When preparing the sauce, feel free to adjust as you feel necessary.
- Add more water if you need to thin it more.
- If you’ve made it too runny, let it gently boil and continue stirring, adding some nutritional yeast or something like arrowroot flower to help thicken (a teaspoon at a time). The nutritional yeast will help give a slight cheesier flavour.
- Add in any other spices or herbs you may like.
- A bit of thick almond yogurt or soft goat cheese may also help to thicken and make it creamy, if you like it that way.
