SPAGHETTI NIGHT

My family loves spaghetti! I probably make that more than any other meal.

It's easy, hearty, inexpensive, it feeds a lot, and tastes even better the next day.

I normally make baked spaghetti with tons of cheese (thanks to Paula Deen's cookbook), but sometimes good ole' fashion spaghetti does the trick.

I'm not fancy by any means, and I don't have a secret family recipe. I use a common spaghetti sauce (Ragu), and I don't add any fancy spices. Just give me some salt & pepper!

The only thing I did differently this night was add in some mild Italian sausage (which I have not done in awhile). It gives the sauce that extra kick!

All I did was cut them in little pieces and fried them till they were no longer pink on the inside. I let them drain on a paper towel before I added it to the sauce.

At the same time, I was browning my ground beef in another pot.

While the sauce was simmering, and the noodles were boiling, I had my younger kids two prepping the french bread.

And that's it! Our spaghetti dinner (with veggies on the side). It was a winner and everyone had seconds! Always a good thing!
