One of the first dinner time meals that I learned how to make was spaghetti. It’s simple, yet delicious and very cost efficient. It’s a great way to feed your household a hearty meal, while still having leftovers. My spaghetti recipe is called “fancy” weeknight spaghetti because it uses 2 types of meat and also uses cheese and fresh parsley as a garnish -giving it a nice spin on a classic dish. As always, please let me know how it turns out and if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

I fixed the spaghetti and it was a hit!! Thank unforeseen this recipe 😉
Glad you enjoyed it !!
I would’ve never thought to addd balsamic vinegar. I’m looking forward to trying it next time I make spaghetti!!
Thank you!
Putting any fat in the water with your pasta makes for a slick noodle that your sauce then slides right off. Other than that it looks tasty.
Thanks for the suggestion !
what spaghetti sauce do you use?
