    Hunts canned spaghetti sauce any flavor

cook spaghetti, drain
add cooked spaghetti to zucchini and toss. top with spaghetti sauce and parmesan cheese and serve!

I made the serving size 4 to get a calorie/fat count but I'm sure you could make it go farther -maybe 6 depending on how much sauce you like.
Can also double the sauce - 2 cans to make this go farther.

Hint: if you peel the zucchini first and then make into ribbons, you might be able to get it past the kids!
