I love spaghetti, it is by far my favorite food of all time. I love to make spaghetti, I love to eat spaghetti, I even love to eat it for breakfast. Its obvious that I am a carboholic!
Have you ever thought to yourself "why do I even need to put beef in the sauce? It taste perfectly fine without all that extra protein." If it was up to me, I would very rarely put in ground beef just because I like it without the meat sauce. The reason why I always end up putting it in is because I know my husband will not be full for long on only spaghetti and marinara sauce. Putting beef in the spaghetti makes it a filling meal that both people can enjoy. If you choose not to use beef you could also use sausage or even mix half sausage and half beef. Chicken can also be good in the sauce, it is healthier for you and you could make it a chicken parmesan dish instead very easily.
Marinara sauce gives you so many options of what you can make for dinner also. You can make the traditional spaghetti, or you could make twice backed spaghetti. If you want more substance to your sauce you can add ingredients such as roasted red bell peppers, onions, green peppers or any other vegetable you desire.
Leftovers are always expected when it comes to spaghetti, especially if only two people are eating it. A useful way to use up those leftovers in one sweep is to put them into a casserole and top with cheese (preferably parmesan or mozzarella). Put it in the fridge and bake in two or three days as a twice baked dish. If it seems dry you can add a can of diced tomatoes flavored with oregano and garlic into the mix then top with cheese and it will bake nicely.
I do have an absolute favorite spaghetti sauce brand also, Prego! What is your favorite spaghetti sauce brand?
