    for a healthier version, use whole grain pasta - even better, serve over spaghetti squash - 1/17/10

    It's an oldie but a goodie. Cook the sauce for as long and as slowly as you can to bring out the flavours, and leave off the cheese to lose a few grams of fat. - 3/18/07

    You really can change the veggies based on what you have and like. I love zucchini so add those, and do not use the broccoli. Mushrooms are also great in this. Also, you can use a can or two of chopped tomatoes with the juice, instead of the fresh tomato and juice. - 1/17/10

    I enjoyed it, but I think next time I make it I am going to leave off the celery and green peppers. I know that I don't really like those veggies cooked but I always like to make recipes as they are the first time. And I used parmesan cheese instead of cheddar but that is just a personal preferance. - 1/5/12

    Really good. Asparagus doesn't agree with me, so I substituted zucchini, but the flavors were still great. I also added some onion and used grated parmesan because there was no cheddar on hand. - 9/29/11

    Looking at this I am thinking there are no fresh herbs, so I will have to change the recipe in that respect, & I agree with comments, zucchini is a bettter fit then broccoli, and a can of organic diced tomato w/ its juice would go better than 1 c of tomato juice. But thanks for the idea to build on - 9/27/11

    You can make this lowwr in calories and higher in fiber with a whole wheat spaghetti and by adding more filling vegetables such as zucchini, summer squash and eggplant - 9/27/11

    I can't even imagine spaghetti sauce with out what are considered "Italian" herbs and spices. Changed to include those spices would make this a recipe I would really enjoy.

    The addition of spices in no way change this into a non-veggie dish. - 7/29/11

    We like to use fresh summer squash and zucchini chunks in our vegetarian spaghetti. They are so good right out of the garden! - 1/23/10
