Spaghetti
"My best friend's mom used to make spaghetti using a thick, meaty sauce. It's easy and very simple, which is what I like about it. The best thing about this recipe is you can use beef, turkey, or even vegetarian meat-substitute crumbles."

this was a different change from the ragu based sauce i usually make. but it wasn't my favorite. my son loved it, spaghetti is his fav meal. he dug in again and again. but i think i may have added too much extra italian seasoning. the recipe didn't call for it but i thought it was a given but there was prob enough in the spaghetti seasoning packet. so if you make this don't add any extra italian seasonings. overall it was good, but not great... -
I have my own spaghetti recipe but was in the mood to try something a litlle different and this was delicious!! I feel easy simple ingredients make the best recipes and this was great. I used ground turkey meat and will switch between this spaghetti recipe and my own.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Let's see where to start : I'm 31 years old, from Texas, single, and have 2 kids. I was a stay-at-home mom for several years until I got divorced. My kids and I have been a family of 3 ever since.
We're your basic family. We like to play video games (PS2, Gamecube, wii, Nintendo DS) and watch The Simpsons (being that's all we have due to no cable tv). My favorite thing to do is to bbq and drink a few beers with family and friends.
Our family does like to cook. I'm not a fancy, exquisite cook, but I do have a few favorites that my family loves. My ex-husband used to love my chili-cheese hot dogs and my kids love my lasagna. But, like your average kid, they love Hamburger Helper.
I always brag that my son makes a better pecan pie than I do. We use the recipe that comes on the Karo syrup bottle. And everytime, without fail, his always comes out better than mine.
