Spaghetti (with a twist!)

Last night was a simple, fast meal night. We did spaghetti... but with a little twist. Everything is pretty much bought prepared, you just need to cook it or heat it. I'm not a fan of red sauce (or pasta for that matter), so while we were growing up my mom came up with this meal. It's especially great for little kids, it's the first real meal that we fed Isaiah... and it's been one of his favorites ever since!

4 servings whole wheat pasta
1 lb ground beef
1 can mushroom alfredo spaghetti sauce (Bertolli)
1 can chopped mushrooms
  • Prepare spaghetti as described on package. Or if there's no description, this is how I do it. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, pull out 2 servings of pasta, break in half, and drop in water. Repeat for remaining 2 servings.
  • Brown ground beef. Once beef is thoroughly cooked, pour alfredo sauce over meat. Drain mushrooms and add to sauce. Mix together completely.
  • Serve beef/sauce mixture over pasta.
We like to pair this dish with a bread and salad. Since this is a fast meal, I'll keep with the theme... we like to use the Texas Toast that's frozen and comes in a box (5 minutes to cook) and bagged Caesar supreme salad.
