I have recently discovered adding toasted breadcrumbs into my vegetable dishes and let me just say I am hooked! It adds such a nice crunch and depending on the type of breadcrumbs that you use, it can be add a greater nutritional value to your meals.


This specific recipe uses whole grain spaghetti noodles but I have also used this just with "zoodles" for less carbs. Both are delicious and filling - it just depends on your preference and what is available to you at the time!
