I found the following recipe for Baby Bolognese and realized I had letter pasta and half a jar of crushed tomatoes frozen from the other night. I immediately went to work. As the sauce and the noodles were cooking I wondered is there an online recipe for homemade spaghetti o's so off I went to google. SCORE!!! Another post on the topic to help my endeavor. You can find the recipe here Homemade Spaghetti O's.
So here is my version of Homemade Pspaghetti O's
1 16oz can crushed tomatoes (small can, although I used half of a large can that was frozen in my freezer)
1/4 onion chopped
6 baby carrots, diced
1 tbsp garlic powder
salt and pepper
1/4 tsp Herbs de Provence
1 cup ABC pasta (i used Manischewitz)
1/2 to 3/4 c shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbs milk
1. place crushed tomatoes, onion, and carrots in sauce pot, bring to boil
2. prepare pasta as directed
3. after sauce comes to boil add in garlic, salt, pepper, and Herbs de Provence
4. simmer sauce while pasta is cooking
5. once pasta is cooked, drain and add to sauce (reserve your pasta water)
6. add cheese, milk, and a little pasta water to sauce pot
7. serve and enjoy
Now I have to say, I've tried to have my boys eat spaghetti o's from a can before and they NEVER eat it. Today they ate over half of what I gave them. Oh and I had some too and it was really tasty. I will be making this again, maybe even double the recipe so I can freeze some when I really need a quick lunch.
