No sauce Spaghetti and Peas

PEAS SPAGHETTI

Hello everyone!

How about a quick and healthy spaghetti for dinner today. If you have spaghetti and peas in your kitchen, the two main ingredients of this dish, you are good to go. And yes basil too.

Spaghetti, the life of Italian cuisine...it is convenient and delicious in its own way...there are a number of ways to turn it into an exciting dinner other than the usual meatballs and tomato sauce version. My recipe is a simple stir fry without using a sauce. In order to make it more healthy I have used spaghetti made of durum wheat semolina and oats flour. You can use any other healthier variant as per your convenience. So lets make this quick and easy spaghetti now.
