Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to the boil and cook spaghetti according to packet directions or until al dente.

Notes
Tip
This is my ultimate stand-by dinner.
Tip
If I have other additions in the house, I add shredded barbeque chicken, crispy bacon, beans, peas or asparagus.
Tip
Greens can be added to the pasta water a few minutes before the pasta is cooked.
Tip
I cook my gluten free pasta (San Remo brand seems to hold together better than the rice/corn types) in a separate saucepan and then just mix in a bit of the sauce separately.
