Spaghetti but Make it Fashion
If you don’t know anything about me by now, know this. I LOVE an easy throw together meal. And if that meal can be one of those comforting meals, then we are really hitting on all cylinders. Now while a pasta dish is essentially mandatory at least once a week in my household. I have to admit I have made this particular one 2-3 times in one week before. It really is that easy and delicious.
So think “spaghetti” but make it fashion. This dish is both nutritious and can be made with simple ingredients that you likely already have on hand. I also love that this sauce can really be different each time you make it by switching an ingredient here or there. Whether you use fresh ingredients or dry, you really cant go wrong on the flavor. Pair with a nice red wine. Chef’s kiss, you’re done!
