Healthy Grilled Summer Vegetable Spaghetti Foil Pack Food

GRILLED SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Preheat a grill on medium-high heat.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, cook pasta about half way according to package instructions. Drain the pasta and toss lightly with olive oil. Using a grill grate, grill the pasta over medium-high heat for about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Transfer the grilled pasta to a serving platter and spoon BBQ Gravy over the top. Place meatballs over the top and around the perimeter of the platter and top with more Gravy. Sprinkle with the sliced scallions and grated Parmesan.
• Heat a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat for 1 minute. When the oil is hot, add the bacon and render. When golden brown and beginning to crisp, add minced carrot, celery, onion, and garlic. Add a pinch of salt and saute vegetables to a light brown. Add rosemary and brown sugar and stir. Add Chianti and vinegar to pot, stir and bring to boil. Add the tomato paste, chipotles in adobo, and the chopped tomatoes. Stir and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, skimming the top occasionally to remove any scum that forms.
• While the BBQ gravy is simmering, make the meatballs.
• In a large bowl, mix together the meat, egg, Worcestershire, cheese, parsley, oregano, basil, onion, bread crumbs, and garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 cup of water. Knead the water into the meat mixture with your hands. Knead and roll meatballs into about 1 1/2-inch balls. Place them in shallow saucepan on stove, add another 1/2 cup of water over them, and cover. Turn heat to medium, and steam for 35 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, remove the meatballs from the pan. Drain the juice out of the bottom of the pan, return the meatballs to it and cover them with warm BBQ gravy. Serve on top of Grilled Spaghetti.

SUMMER SPAGHETTI WITH GARDEN FRESH ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water and add the spaghetti.
• Heat the olive oil in a large straight-sided pan over medium-high heat. Add the corn, zucchini, garlic and red pepper flakes and saute, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender but not browned, 4 to 6 minutes.
• When the spaghetti is al dente, drain and add to the zucchini. Turn off the heat and toss lightly. Add the tomatoes, walnuts and half the Parmesan. Drizzle with olive oil and gently mix together. Garnish with basil and additional Parmesan. Divide the pasta among bowls and serve.

HEALTHY GRILLED SUMMER VEGETABLE SPAGHETTI FOIL PACK

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat.
• Toss together the tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, pesto, olives, garlic, olive oil, crushed red pepper and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
• Combine the wine with 2 cups water in a large measuring cup or bowl.
• Tear four 16-inch pieces of 18-inch-wide heavy duty foil and arrange on a work surface. Evenly divide the spaghetti among the 4 pieces of foil, placing it in the center of each piece and leaving plenty of room on the short ends. Evenly divide the vegetable mixture among the foil, spooning it on top of the spaghetti. Fold up the sides and ends of each piece of foil to make a canoe shape. Pour 3/4 cup of the wine mixture into each packet. Keeping the folded sides up, tightly crimp the edges together so the packets remain canoe-shaped. This will prevent leaking and allow for space at the top of each packet.
• Put the packets on the grill, close the grill lid and cook 24 minutes, changing the position of the packets on the grill about halfway through. Remove from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Carefully open each packet. The pasta should be al dente and the vegetable mixture saucy. Stir 2 tablespoons Parmesan into each serving. Transfer the pasta and sauce to 4 serving bowls and top with the basil.
