Notes
- Watch Pasta. Be sure not to overcook your spaghetti noodles. I always cook for one minute less than suggested to have a little bite to my noodles.
- Add Protein. Use your favorite protein for a more hearty meal. I've used chopped rotisserie chicken, ground beef, Italian Sausage and even shrimp.
- Add Vegetables. Saute any of your favorite vegetables to add as well. This is a versatile weeknight meal to get creative with!
