Submitted by Shelly K

"VERY quick, VERY easy, and VERY good :) You can substitute fresh basil and/or oregano for this recipe by sauteing them with the onion."

December 11, 2010: Delicious! DS (17) has been asking for "regular" spaghetti for weeks (as in no beans, no seafood, no weird ingredients. LOL), so this was my treat for him last night. Everyone really enjoyed it. I loved how easy it was! I had fresh basil on hand, halved the recipe and added 1lb ground beef, which I cooked with the onion and garlic, drained & then continued with the recipe. We'll look forward to making this again & I think it would be great for OAMC. Next time I'll make a full recipe, divide in half, vacuum pack and freeze one for a quick weeknight meal down the road. Thanks for sharing, Shelly! Made & enjoyed for the Let's P-A-R-T-Y! event. :) ETA: I forgot to mention that I also added a few splashes of Malbec red wine to add some depth. It's an excellent recipe! :D
