This clean spaghetti is my favourite meal, but definitely not with those wheat noodles! I feel tired and bloated with wheat, so I eat gluten-free and try to convince my family to do the same.
You can fill your yellow container with pasta and the rest sauce. Then, add your meat separately so you can fill up your red container.
I love making this while I do my diet, as it gives me lots of energy to get through my workouts!
This clean spaghetti sauce is a great dish to make for a Sunday prep item if you are in my private challenge group! Also, it is a great one to portion and freeze.

Ingredients
1 jar Marinara sauce (tomatoes, garlic, herbs, and onions – pasta sauce in southern hemisphere for Italian seafood dish)

1 cup cauliflower
½ cup mushrooms - diced
1 tablespoon parsley
2 stalks celery - finely chopped
1 teaspoon oregano

½ teaspoon Parmesan cheese
Instructions
