Spaghetti With Vegetables

This is another recipe I have tested for QimiQ. Here is the first.

It was unexpected good. And what was even more unexpected: my children loved it. Both of them! They ate everything on their plate – VEGETABLES – and wanted seconds. Ok, I admit, the vegetables were cut pretty small, but still, not a word against them – it was wonderful!

The QimiQ can be of course replaced with heavy cream or with a mixture of milk and low fat cream cheese. Just take what you like. I prefer to use low fat cream cheese instead of heavy cream.
