Spaghetti - America’s favorite pasta by far - is not only fun and delicious, but it’s also budget friendly. It’s like a blank canvas - you can pair almost anything you like with pasta. Traditional tomatoes, meaty Bolognese, and vegetables are just a few of the suggestions in On Top of Spaghetti, by Better Homes & Gardens. My personal favorite is the simple Spaghetti with Two Tomato Toss - made with sun-dried tomatoes and fresh cherry tomatoes, bocconcini (that’s bite sized mozzarella balls) and extra red pepper flakes for some heat. Recipes can be found on page 212.
