Quick Dinner: Veggie Spaghetti

On nights when things are chaotic, I love meals that come together quickly and incorporate most of the important food groups into one meal, or at least gets the veggies into the mix.  This time of year with fresh zucchini coming out my ears, it's getting added to all kinds of things.  In this recipe you can substitute whatever garden abundance you are blessed with into the mix: bell peppers, yellow squash, onions and fresh diced tomatoes are all great additions.
