Oh, my goodness this looks awesome and just might become a new favorite. We love whole wheat spaghetti with loads of roasted veggies added to it, topped with just a dusting of fresh grated parmesan.

I love using a can of pumpkin in with some veggie sausage and a few vegetables (onion, zucchini, tomatoes) and then baking it slightly for a little cheese to melt. One of the easiest & tastiest spaghetti dishes.
I like pasta with a simple sauce of olive oil and garlic but this addition of thyme sounds intriguing. I will definitely try this next.

As long as spaghetti isn’t covered in a cream sauce it’s pretty healthy. I like to make a simple sauce with garlic, plum tomatoes, capers, olives, and olive oil just cooked enough to warm everything up. Yum!
