Recently I am engaging in a quarrel with my mother and we still have not reconcile. Now I have to prepare meals for myself everyday and I start to running out of ideas. I am curious that what ingredients do you usually use to cook with spaghetti? I can think of bacon, mushroom, onion and seafood only. Anything else??? Please share! ^^

Because I have three kids and picky eater husband I am afraid my spaghetti sauce is quite plain. Just the basic tomato sauce seasoned with garlic and Italian seasoning. I would love to have mushrooms in my sauce but I am the only one in my family who likes them. I usually make the sauce a meat sauce though by add browned ground beef to it. Sometimes I will sautee onions before I cook the meat and add them but not always.

I like a number of vegetables and meats with spaghetti. Zucchini, yellow squash, eggplant, spinach, or cherry tomatoes are all good tossed with spaghetti, and ground beef or sausage are good meat additions. Or with a cream sauce you could add chicken. Another really simple way to make spaghetti is to toss it with olive oil, garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese and then have any veggies or meats you want on the side. Try looking up a recipe website and search for spaghetti.

i dont cook spaghetti often, i rather use fettuccine, and sometimes Penne, but as for italian pasta in general, i tend to use bolognese sauce, and some bacon on top to make it taste good! also i put basilicum and italianse-kruiden to make the smell just awesome :D mushrooms is a very good choice as wel to be added :D
