How to Prepare Your Spaghetti
Start by chopping up fresh bell peppers to mix in with riced cauliflower. This lunch option pairs well with almost any vegetable. You can use up what you have in the fridge and freezer but riced cauliflower is always and easy option. Tomatoes are another option and really elevate the flavor.
Once the vegetables are chopped add them to a microwave safe dish with 3/4 cup of water or vegetable broth and your spices of choice. This lunch package is fantastic as it is, but adding a bit more Italian flavor and garlic would make it even more fabulous.
A Little Extra Tomato Makes it Fabulous
Microwave the veggies in the water for 4 minutes until all the vegetables are soft. Alternatively you can add the ingredients to a small sauce pan and simmer.
Mix in the Spaghetti Mix
Once the veggies are soft mix in the soup mix. Taste and adjust spices to your preference. If you are going to eat right away you will need to microwave for another minute to soften the noodles and package ingredients.
Make Your Soup Ahead of Time and Store in a Glass Microwave Bowl.
Prepare your lunch in the morning and store it in a microwave-safe dish. This method is ideal for lunch preparation as it allows the noodles and ingredients to soften and the flavors to blend perfectly. By prepping all your veggies in advance, you can easily put together your lunch in no time, ensuring it’s ready for you whenever you need it.
Simply reheat your lunch for 1-2 minutes until it’s hot. If the spaghetti has solidified too much, add a bit more water before reheating.
