Munggo, Malunggay, and Kalabasa in Spaghetti Sauce? Yes! Del Monte Has it and My Toddlers Loved It!

Mothers know how important it is to provide nutritious food to growing children. Some moms though are so swamped with work, both at home and in the office, that it is quite improbable for them to spend hours in the kitchen and cook everything from scratch. Other moms like me simply have had no lengthy cooking experience that it is beyond our current capacity to cook everything from scratch. I admittedly belong to the latter.

Part and parcel of my grocery list are various ready mixes that make cooking so simple and fast. Among my favorites are sinigang mixes, pasta sauces, and barbeque marinades. While I was doing our weekly grocery shopping last weekend, I chanced upon a new product from Del Monte – The Del Monte Spaghetti Sauce with MMK. And, no, there’s no sob story fit for a Maalaala Mo Kaya episode there. MMK stands for the three new ingredients: Munggo, Malunggay and Kalabasa.

We still had a pack of colorful vegeroni pasta shapes in the pantry so I whipped up a sauce using the spaghetti sauce mix. It took me only less than 30 minutes to prepare and cook the entire meal. The toddlers love pasta and ate it with gusto without even knowing that there’s vegetable in the pasta sauce.

This really is another great product for busy moms (and moms who are still not that adept in the kitchen – like me!) who want more nutritious meals for the family. If you would like to find out my kitchen newbie version of Vegeronni with MMK Spaghetti Sauce, visit our Foodie Momster kitchen.
