Lazy Spaghetti in Fresh Tomato Sauce

I call this my lazy spaghetti because this is my go-to when I don't want to do the work but also want to eat really good food. Chalo, at least something came out of being lazy!

I made this recipe a few weeks ago, recorded the whole process and uploaded it on my stories. I got a great response from the stories and so many requests for exact quantities. This post has all the info to make this spaghetti.

Before going ahead with the recipe, I just want to put it out there that I used noodles instead of spaghetti pasta. I know! I am guilty! But I was really craving for some fresh tomato goodness and I told myself that no one has to know. I had no idea that I'd be writing the recipe down for y'all to make it. So, if you guys also have noodles at home and no spaghetti.. just use it and I won't tell anyone. I promise!

I had some mushrooms lying around in the fridge, so I used them but its totally upto you. I also added spinach because I personally love green vegetables, but that's optional too. Veggies or no veggies, you're going to love it!

For the mushrooms, in a pan, add butter, mushrooms, seasonings and cook. Follow the same method for any other vegetable. You can boil the veggies too.

To add spinach, once your tomato sauce is ready, add chopped spinach, cover and cook the sauce until the spinach wilts.

Add veggies or meat of your choice over the sauce while assembling the pasta.

I haven't added any photos here. Mainly because this wasn't planned and I didn't save any! But the entire process is on my instagram stories, here is the link to my page : https://www.instagram.com/thegirlwithspoon/
