"This is another one of my favorite "go to" simple meals. I threw this together for the first time over 10 years ago and it's been a constant ever since.

"This is a great way to use up left-over spaghetti (or left-over pasta of any kind). I often cook extra spaghetti just so I can make this the next morning.

"This is one of the two staple recipes I cook for company when I don't know what they like. It is simple and really easy. Everyone always enjoys it. I think it is called holdiay spaghetti because it is red and green but we make it all year round."
