World's Greatest

...Spaghetti.

That is all.

Okay, okay. I just have to brag a little, then I'll be on my way. I make spaghetti. It's the world's best spaghetti. I learned how to make it from my mother (so hers is pretty good too) and I've been making it since I was 14 years old. She learned how to make it from an Italian neighbor in Italy. (you're starting to believe it's the best now, aren't you?) Whenever I ask my husband this question: "What's your favorite meal that I make?" or "If you could have anything I make for dinner tonight, what would it be?" the answer is ALWAYS spaghetti.

I cannot share the recipe. I plan on passing this down to my daughter so that she, too, can make the world's greatest spaghetti. But if you want an idea for how to spruce up your own spaghetti, I can share this:

-Use Italian sausage instead of ground beef.
-Add balsamic vinegar to your meat as it is browning.
-Use fresh herbs whenever possible, particularly basil and oregano.
-Don't forget the thyme!!

Spaghetti and red wine. Heaven at my house.


It's beautiful.


Add in some grated parmesan cheese and it's ready to devour.
Some grated red pepper is a delicious addition also, if you like a spicy kick.

Next time I make spaghetti, we'll discuss spaghetti sandwiches. Be on the lookout!
