Mom’s Spaghetti
The only downfall of this recipe is the lack of meatballs. I grew up with this recipe, and always wished I had meatballs in my spaghetti, like in Lady and the Tramp. You could easily use our recipe for Meatballs found here, and add those to the sauce – I’ll probably do that next time :].
This recipe is quick, and inexpensive, and works well as a budget friendly meal.
Ingredients
1 lb. turkey burger
1 onion, diced
3 garlic cloves minced (or 1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic in a jar)
2 cans diced (or crushed) tomatoes (14.5 oz each)
4 cans tomato sauce (8 oz.)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. thyme
1 bay leaf
mushrooms, if you like that sort of thing
1 pkg. spaghetti or fettuccini noodles
Instructions
1
Brown turkey burger and onion, then add minced garlic, stir. Add remaining ingredients, let simmer for 20-30 minutes. While it’s simmering cook your spaghetti noodles according to package directions. Server over noodles, top with parmesan cheese, if desired.
