Spaghetti - The Lighter Version

Spaghetti is one of my favorite dishes. My husband doesn't care for it, so I've not had it in a while. Since starting the Noom food plan, I've been cooking a lot of meals separately since we have different tastes, and spaghetti has come back into the menu. Pasta gets a really bad rep if you're trying to lose weight, but if you use whole wheat pasta it's completely workable on the Noom plann. It's a pretty easy meal to lighten up so I'm really enjoying it. It's also very filling and satisfying.

Spaghetti: 424 calories


2 oz Great Value Whole Wheat Thin spagetti, cooked, 210 calories
1/2 cup Full Circle Organic marinara sauce, 50 calories
1/2 cup chopped onion, 32 calories
1/4 red pepper, chopped, 5 calories
1/2 medium carrot, chopped, 13 calories
1/4 cup black beans, drained and rinsed, 59 calories
2 Tbl grated parmesan cheese, 55 calories

Spray a small skillet with non-stick cooking spray. The olive oil version is really great in this recipe. Add the onion, pepper, and carrot. Saute till crisp-tender. Add beans and marinara sauce and heat through. Place cooked spaghetti in bowl and top with sauce. Add parmesan.
