Spaghetti

My whole family loves spaghetti!  It took me awhile to make it as good as my mother-in-law according to my husband, but he says I finally got it.  Maybe he is just forgetting what "mom's" taste like! 
(I must admit, sometimes if I find a really good deal on spaghetti sauce I use it, but it has to be a great deal.)

Sauce

• 1 lb ground beef or sausage
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 (29 oz) can tomato sauce
• 1 cup water
• 1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
• 1 (8 oz) can diced tomatoes (also good with fire roasted diced tomatoes)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 lb dried spaghetti noodles
• Parmesan cheese

In a skillet, cook meat (I always season hamburger with garlic salt and pepper), onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is done; drain.  Add tomato sauce, water, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, salt, basil, and oregano.  Mix well and let simmer- the longer the better so the flavors blend!  Cook noodles according to package.  Spoon sauce on top of spaghetti and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Note: Make plenty of sauce because this will be another meal...from leftover to gourmet!
