What's For Dinner?

30 Minutes to get supper on the table?
You can never go wrong with Spaghetti and a tasty-herby sauce, some French Bread, and a simple salad.
It's a nice weekday meal, comes together in a snap, and always feels warming and filling if there's a chilly spring day.
Watch your portion size, or use Whole Wheat noodles.

Start some water to boil in a large pot.
Saute about half a pound of ground beef till browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon (you can omit for meatless, or use sliced italian sausage instead),
add chopped onion and minced garlic, cook till transparent
and skim any accumulated fat.
Add a can or jar of your favorite prepared sauce....Classico or Hunts are both good brands. Adjust the seasoning to your liking, adding extra herbs if desired -- or give it a little zip by stirring in a frozen cube of homemade pesto (make some this summer, and you will have it on hand in the future).
You can wrap the bread in foil and warm in a 350 oven for a few minutes.
While the sauce simmers, Assemble a simple salad from what you have on hand in the crisper....
Cook and drain the pasta, serve with the sauce and parmesan cheese on the side.
