Tips and Warnings

  • Option to use a high-process blender. Add the vegetables and 1 cup of the excess water to a blender and blend until smooth. You may need to add more of the water to thin out the consistency. Pour the puree back into the pot.
  • Any small pasta can be used to replace the ring pasta. Orzo or small shells are great options.
  • A mixture of many vegetables can be used in place of carrots, celery, sweet potato, or onion.
  • Feel free to skip the ketchup and use another tablespoon of tomato paste.
  • If you would like a soupier spaghettio, set aside another cup of vegetable water. Add 1 tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • What vegetables you use will determine the flavor of the spaghettios.
