Spaghetti with beans and veggies

Need an easy recipe? I make this when I am craving pasta. It's filling, healthy, and super easy! Use whole wheat spaghetti, its a better alternative to regular pasta which has been stripped of nutrients. White beans are high in protein, Iron, Calcium and fiber and low in fat. The vegetables in this recipe can be traded out for any other veggies or add more in. After dinner take a 20 minute walk to aid in digestion and relax after your busy day.
