I like my pasta saucy, and my noodles to be firm and not over cooked. With this quick and easy pasta recipe that is just what I get; along with easy clean up. The whole dish is done in one pan. It doesn't get easier than that!
My husband and I just returned from San Francisco. We were there working, so we didn't get to see all that I would have like to have seen. But I did talk him into turning off the computer, at least long enough for us to take the boat out to Alcatraz.
Alcatraz was incredible! As part of your ticket, you get to take an audio tour of the jail. It is narrated by actual former Alcatraz prison guards and former inmates.
An inmate told a funny story about spaghetti. The first time it was serve at the prison, everyone loved it. But slowly the quality of the spaghetti went down hill, and the prisoners started to complain. Finally it came to a point when the inmates agreed, that the next time spaghetti was served they were going to revolt. And that is how one of the worst riot in the history of Alcatraz was started.
With this no fail recipe, you are guaranteed perfect results every time. It is sure to keep your inmates in order.
