Introduction

What a revelation to find that I could create my own version of "Spaghetti-O's" that is just as fun for the kids and WAY HEALTHIER!

Using "Low Sodium" ingredients allows you to control the salt.

Adding about a tablespoon of sugar helps mellow-out the acid in the vegetable juice. What a revelation to find that I could create my own version of "Spaghetti-O's" that is just as fun for the kids and WAY HEALTHIER!

Tips

Substitute any small soup (piccolini) pasta you would like. My kids also enjoy shells, wagon wheels and alphabets!


Directions
