Homemade Alphaghetti

I used to love Alphaghetti as a kid! I was telling one of my kids about if when we were food shopping and of course he wanted to try it. Later that day when I was preparing it for him, I took a look at the ingredients and thought this can’t be that hard to make. So I gave it a try.  I swapped out the added table sugar for carrots – this gave the pasta sweetness but with a vitamin and fibre boost. I used fresh onion and garlic in place of the powder versions, replaced the water for vegetable broth and I used olive oil instead of refined soybean oil. I skipped the modified corn starch and other non-food ingredients- because and It was pretty good and approved by my 3 biggest critics! It’s an easy recipe and great for school lunches during the cooler months. Just warm it up in the morning and transfer to a thermos.
