It’s kids most favorite, and it’s sauce is what we had to consider prior serving it for it is the one who makes it palatable. But my mom use to tell me that it is the pasta that makes it perfect. I doubt it, just try to figure it out a spaghetti without it’s sauce? It’s probably the most unwanted food isn’t it? So, sauce is important.:)
This looks so good! There is nothing better than good classic meals!

I was at home on Saturday morning I realized that ground beef say to use or freeze be 9/20/17. It was 9/30/17 so I decided to cook it. I put in water defrost for 1 or more using cold water method you change water every 30 minutes per pound. I decided I want spegatti. So I like muller spegatti add water and kosher salt like it cook fi 40 minutes. I was looking for recipe I thought it was I heart recipes with Rosie which is souful recipes. It wasn’t until I click I realize I was on wrong website. I love trying recipes so I gave yours try. I use three caps full of great value olive oil from Walmart. I add 2.25 ground beef let cook for 40 minutes. I Add regular spoon full McCormicks black pepper,spoonful kosher salt from McCormick, great value Walnart minced onions, McCormick minced garlic , 5th season Walmart brand for eighty -eight cents garlic power, onion power,Italian seasoning and parlsey flakes. I drain fat at twenty minutes. Then after 40 minutes. I drain all fat. I put in sauce pan. I add jar pregu traditional sauce. I add one cup eater using jar then add seasonings again stir for minute. I lost cook for hour. It usually takes me 2 hours cook it but it be so good and worthy the time.

To make spegatti dinner extra special or date night or Sunday dinner add sausage and Italian sausage. Add garden salad , garlic bread and cinnamon rolls for dessert. Use candles or to give table new look at hurraine lamp and oil and light for dinner or go dollar store get candles and add it. Dress up for dinner. Especially if gave kids and can’t go out. Do romantic candle night dinner once kids go bed.
Great ideas Veronica! Thanks for sharing! :)
