Healthy Spaghetti Dinner

Spaghetti is a family favorite however, with our new look on health, not always the best option. This recipe is easy, delicious and salt-free!! After indulging in Disney all last week, we certainly need the break from the salt mines!

Pick N Save has ground beef on sale and I am pairing it with coupons and coming up with the tastiest money saving around! It is normally $4.29/lb. and I got it for $2.49/lb. So, I grabbed a bunch to make my featured recipe today:
