How do you like your spaghetti?

[HardyGirl]

I am sitting here, enjoying a plate of spaghetti and clam sauce, and I was wondering, how do you like your spaghetti?

As I said, I like clam sauce, w/ Kraft parmesan cheese. I also like it w/ Prego, (most varieties) and Kraft parm. I will eat it w/ meatballs, but I don't like meat sauce. (it's a texture thing).

So how do you like it?

Lot's of veggies and cheese. When feeling extra saucy I like to add in jalapeno slices

I prefer my spaghetti with a Bolognese (meat) sauce that I make and simmer for 6 to 7 hours.

We make ours with Vodka sauce most of the time (any brand is fine) but also any flavor that is on sale, either Morningstar fake meat or real ground beef, and sliced up black olives. Wife and kid like it with Parmesan cheese...I like it with lots of salt and pepper. New favorite is small spaghetti noodles. -Chris

Wow. I'm gonna sound pretty boring with this, but I don't care for a lot of extra stuff, just gimme the meat, cheese and noodles. I brown up half ground chuck and half jimmy dean spice sausage with a normal, tomato based sauce. I used to love Prego with mini meatballs but they stopped making that years ago. Now it's a basic Ragu, Hunts or a local favorite LaRosas. Then it's lots of parm, either powdered or finely shredded. Nothing fancy here and nothing exciting. And I agree with the above, the thin noodles rule.

How I make spaghetti


Colonna Garlic & Onion Pasta Sauce (usually .99 cents a jar at Shoprite)

Cooked Perfect brand Italian frozen meatballs (when on sale)

1/2 box of Brown and Serve sausages

Shoprite Brand Linguine


easy, cheap and yummy

I usually just do the noodles, whatever sauce catches my eye on the grocery shelf (Bolognese usually), and drop in some ground beef. Pretty boring, but filling!

When the wife and I are doing our low carb kick, we do low carb noodles, low carb sauce and lots of beef!

I love a marinara or a basil based sauce, I bypass the Prego and Ragu stuff (although I will use those if nothing else is available)...but I prefer to go to Genova Italian Deli for my sauces.

Like the pasta al dente, with sautéed mushrooms and zucchini, and lean ground beef (I rarely make it into meatballs though).

Some Parmesan cheese on top as well.

An either a sweet or sourdough baguette on the side, with some Pinot noir or Merlot, and I'm good to go.

Sometimes on occasion, I go the pesto route instead of a tomato based sauce, it's good to change it up once in a while.

With syrup and a 2 liter of Coke :-)

My wife makes the best homemade Italian meatballs, thin noodles and we like the Classico sauce. Nice crunchy baguette with butter and garlic too. Pretty simple but the wife's homemade meatballs are to die for.

[HardyGirl]

Yep, that's why I like clam sauce. My brother (who's visiting) ate most of it!

Ha!

Clam sauce is great too...so many choices.

I'm usually the one who makes spaghetti around here, so I brown hamburger and Tennessee Pride sausage, season it with Famous Dave's all-purpose meat seasoning, and then add my sauce. I usually try to get Classico's tomato and basil, and add plenty of garlic salt and oregano. Here lately we've been using the "pot-sized" pasta from Wal-Mart. Usually drop a heaping helping of mozzarella and parm on top.

My mom made Spaghetti in a very interesting way. She would make her homemade sauce with meat and...kidney beans! My dad got a taste for this in the army, and they would often serve it over white rice. So he asked my mom to make it, she did, he loved it, and it stuck. That's how we had spaghetti at my house growing up. You got to choose between white rice, or pasta!

I'll either add a creamy Pesto sauce to mine, or I will add a really cheesy taste to an ordinary spaghetti sauce. If I'm having it with the Pesto sauce I'll add shrimp. If its with the other sauce then I will have it with Italian meatballs.
