Spagetti ‘Not Really’
Spagetti not really started as a working title and just stuck as a name for a simple quick dinner. The basic concept is that it’s a pasta dish without using the standard spaghetti noodle. There are so many different pasta noodles that are produced why not just mix them in with some pasta sauce? So our version of spagetti not really typically involves some bow-tie, penne or mafalda pasta. These pasta noodles are all bite size and the pasta sauce doesn’t flip off like a spaghetti noodle. These are important traits of food since I typically eat dinner in my work clothes. Pasta sauce doesn’t wash out easily and work clothes are not nearly as fun to buy as casual clothes are.
As a recap of what Spagetti Not Really for 2 servings
- 1/2-1 lb ground beef browned
- 14 oz prepared pasta sauce
- 7-8 oz pasta noodle of choice
Cook ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat. Add pasta sauce and cook until sauce has warmed to person heat. Meanwhile cook pasta noodles per package directions. Mix together pasta and meat sauce with pasta noodles and serve.
Hope you enjoy Spaghetti Not Really as much as we do.
