Spaghetti is on the menu just about every Monday night at our house. Spaghetti is frugal, has wide appeal, and feeds many. Plus, sometimes I need to remind myself that we can enjoy more than just sauce on our noodles. I reminded myself recently when I saw those snow peas on sale. And the nearby bunch of broccoli.
Don’t you love simple? And maybe you need to be reminded too. Enjoy some veggies on your noodles!

I make something similar with pasta and broccoli except I saute garlic in the olive oil before tossing.
