One-Pot Spaghetti

  Ever thought about making a spaghetti recipe where there is minimal clean up and it's all cooked in ONE POT? Well, you don't have to look any further, because this recipe is for you! . Our whole family loved it, so if you are ever short on time try this recipe out. 

One of my old standby's for cooking is this red and white checkered Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. I honestly have never made a tasteless recipe from it. If you don't have that cookbook, it is a must-have! Hope you enjoy this recipe from it. 

*I adapted this recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook . You can check out the original recipe from their recipe.
