V-8 Spaghetti

Submitted by ChihuahuaLove

"This is one of those recipes that came about during the Depression. My Grandma and Mom have been making this for me for as long as I can remember. To this day it it my favorite foods, and I make it by the bowl and eat it a few times a week."

 

• Ready In: 7mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 2-3

ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) can tomato juice (I like V-8, but any will do)
• 0.125 (16 ounce) box angel hair pasta (you can use any size, but I like angel hair the best, use up to 1/4 of the box)
• 1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
• 1⁄2 cup sour cream
• salt

directions

1. Boil pasta and drain.
2. Place pasta back in pot on warm burner.
3. Add just enough tomato juice so your noodles won't stick to the pot.
4. Add salt and butter, stir until butter is melted.
5. In a separate bowl mix sour cream with tomato juice by adding a few tablespoons of tomato juice at a time until sour cream and tomato juice mixture is runny and well mixed through (this is done so the sour cream does not curtle when mixed with the hot pasta).
6. Add mixture and remaining tomato juice to pasta, stir and serve immediately (when left to sit, the pasta will soak up the juice and it will taste slightly different). I like mine best fresh, that's why I make it a bowl at a time. I also never measure anything for this recipe. All amounts can be adjusted to suit your personal preference. These measurements are simply a baseline.
