When doing my grocery shopping for the week I bought herbs and such that would be used with other meals for the week. I prefer angel hair pasta. Looking at the options I discovered it was cheaper to get two "small" boxes then one bigger one and you get more for your money. Big deal when you're on a budget and serving 5 grown adults.
I started off my having my husband brown the ground beef for the spaghetti sauce. I've used ground turkey before and that's good too. While he was doing that I was chopping and preparing my fresh herbs for the week. I also cut a couple of tomatoes and onions for the spaghetti sauce. We use prego and add to it.
After the meat was done and drained we added prego, canned mushrooms, a diced onion, and two diced tomatoes. I also added fresh parsley and basil, along with some regular oregano from the cabinet and some diced garlic from the fridge. After it was all mixed together I brought it to a simmer.
Next I put my water on to boil. While that was going I had the oven preheated to about 250 degrees. I took a loaf of french bread and sliced it down the side to split it open. I slathered some butter on it and put some garlic power on top. I placed these on a cookie sheet covered in foil.
When the water was ready, I added both boxes of angel hair pasta. Remember, 5 adults, and we'll need leftovers. When the pasta was in the water I put the bread in the oven. Once the pasta was cooked, we drained the pasta and added the spaghetti sauce to it and mixed it all together.
We then took out the bread, put our spaghetti on our plates, added some Parmesan and delicious!
