Mama's Monday Night Quick Fix Spaghetti

Hi Girls,

Last night I got in late and wanted to make something very quickly for dinner...I was in the mood for spaghetti! So I made this meal in about 40 minutes...start to finish!

Mama's Monday Night Quick Fix Spaghetti

Mince 1 onion and put in a dutch oven with a small amount of oil. Add 2 lbs. hamburger and fry on a high heat stirring constantly...apparently this is called "scrambling"! When meat is browned add:

1 small can tomato paste
1-10 oz. can tomato soup
1-14 oz. can diced tomatoes
1-14 oz. can tomato sauce
1/4 cup ketchup

Stir well, and add:
1 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
dried parsley ( a goodly amount)
pepper to taste
1 tsp. sugar

I also added a small amount of water...enough to rinse out the cans.
Simmer sauce while cooking rotini. Add a certain amount of cooked rotini to sauce and stir...continue to simmer for about 10-15 minutes. I served it with shredded Parmesan, and, of course, a Kuhn Family favourite...cottage cheese. I think this was the best spaghetti I ever made! We finished it up tonight for dinner.
I made this without a recipe. I hope you like it!

I made a variation of this tonight and it was quite yummy. I was wary of the tomato soup. Didn't have parsley so skipped it, used fresh garlic and added some basil and oregano. Turned out yummy! Thanks for the recipe.
