Recipe at the bottom of the post
We are kind of new to recipes but we’ve had our podcast for a while. Make sure to give us a listen anywhere you listen to podcasts.
Over the next few days, we are going to be releasing a few recipes. These will seem like they have a lot of servings for the average family size. The reason for this is we plan to help you make busy nights at your house a little easier. Stick with me here. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a meal all ready made for busy night at your house? We use a system of cooking twice as much on nights we’re home and then eating that meal again on a busy night later in the week.
Today’s recipe is spaghetti and meat sauce. Meat sauce is the most versatile thing on the planet. For this dish we went traditional and served it over pasta. For the second round of this you could do a hundred different things with it. Try mixing the sauce with frozen ravioli and bake. Or do a pasta bake with rotini. You could also get frozen breaded chicken and make chicken parmesan. Top with cheese after baking and put it under the broiler for a few minutes. So yummy!! We didn’t feel any of these second round dishes really needed a recipes. What do you like to do with meat sauce? Share with us over on social. We love new ideas.
