SPAGHETTI PLATE RECIPES

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions.
• Heat the oil in a pan and gently cook the onions until soft. Add the garlic, cook for 1 minute, then add the wine.
• Allow the wine to bubble for 1 minute, then add the tomatoes and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the tomato puree and sugar and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Stir the sauce into the drained spaghetti and place on warm serving plates.
• Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and cheese and garnish with basil and oregano.

Steps:

• In a large pot or Dutch oven heat 1 TBS cooking oil over medium high heat. Add onion and cook until softened and lightly browned. Season with salt & pepper. Add ground beef and brown thoroughly.
• Mix in taco seasoning. Stir in corn, rotel tomatoes and chicken broth. Break uncooked spaghetti in half and add to pot. Stir and bring to a boil over high heat. Make sure pasta is covered in liquid, place lid on pot and lower heat to low. Cook for 13-15 minutes until spaghetti is cooked tender. (Make sure to stir every few minutes to keep pasta from sticking to bottom of pot.)
• Once pasta is tender, turn off heat and add both cheeses to the top of pasta. Place lid back on for 5 minutes to allow cheese to melt. Garnish with parsley or cilantro.
