Homemade Spaghettios
Did you enjoy canned Spaghettios when you were a kid? I know I did, which is why I’m excited to share a recipe for making this nostalgic dish from scratch. It’s a more grown up version than the canned variety, using real food ingredients like tomato sauce, garlic, onions and Parmesan cheese, but its still simple to make.
If you have kids who like canned pasta, but you want to start cooking more from scratch, this is a great place to start. They probably won’t notice the different and you’ll rest easy knowing that you are feeding your family a budget-friendly, nourishing meal.
A bowful of these Homemade Spaghettios would be the perfect way to welcome your family in from the cold. They taste great, are filling and full of vitamins and minerals.
