When thinking about what topic I should share this week, spaghetti came to mind. I always have a box in my pantry and it’s a great (and inexpensive) way to bulk up a meal. Spaghetti and meatballs are delicious, but there are many other ways to serve spaghetti. Here are some easy spaghetti recipes for tonight’s dinner.<\/p>\n

“I came up with this recipe using a classic ratatouille recipe and adding hot Italian sausage and serving over spaghetti,” explains Terri Rountree<\/a> (Whitewright, TX<\/a>). <\/p>\n

What Terri came up with is a Spicy Ratatouille With Sausage & Spaghetti<\/a> that’s hearty and delicious. <\/p>\n

Ratatouille is basically a stew filled with veggies and spices. This version uses zucchini, mushrooms, and eggplant that simmers with Italian sausage. The sausage was my favorite because it adds a ton of flavor. Serve over a bed of spaghetti for a wonderful meal.<\/p>\n

Another recipe that packs a punch of veggies is Nancy Mackel’s<\/a> (Bonney Lake, WA<\/a>) Cheesy Pasta and Veggie Frittata<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“My family loves spaghetti but I always make too much pasta,” reveals Nancy. “This is a great way to use that extra pasta. It’s also a great way to get those vegetables into picky eaters.”<\/p>\n

There are a few steps to this recipe, but completely worth it. <\/p>\n

Nancy packs this frittata with zucchini, yellow squash, spinach, mushrooms, and tomatoes. You can add shrimp or chicken to make it a complete meal (I opted for shrimp). Very hearty, this frittata has a cheesy crust on top that I loved.<\/p>\n

Michael Jordan’s<\/a> (Pasadena, TX<\/a>) Cube Steak Parmesan Over Spaghetti<\/a> is filled with flavor.<\/p>\n

“A true Italian palate pleaser,” thinks Michael. “So simple to make and can be altered to anyone’s taste buds.”<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for an easy dinner recipe, try this cube steak Parmesan. It reminds me of spaghetti with a ground meat sauce. Panko crumbs form a lovely golden brown crust on the cube steaks. So good!<\/p>\n

Now, I’m going completely opposite from traditional Italian flavors and sharing Michelle Griggs’<\/a> (San Diego, CA<\/a>) Stir Mein (Stir Fry\/Lo Mein)<\/a>. Who says you need to get takeout to have Chinese food at home?<\/p>\n

“Well, I’ve attempted to make lo mein at home a few times because it’s my favorite Chinese dish,” shares Michelle. “The sauce tastes like a perfect mix between a stir fry sauce and a lo mein sauce.”<\/p>\n

This chicken stir-fry is so good you’ll want to eat this all the time. The sauce is tangy and sweet with a nice nutty taste from the sesame oil. The noodles (spaghetti) soak up all the delicious flavors.<\/p>\n

Cheesy and creamy, this Easy Chicken Tetrazzini<\/a> comes together in a snap.<\/p>\n

“Came up with this recipe one day from what I had on hand in my pantry and freezer,” says Lynelle Caldwell<\/a> (Durango, CO<\/a>). “Became one of my family’s favorites.”<\/p>\n

The flavors from the mushrooms, pimentos, and Alfredo mix with a cheese sauce. It bakes together making the chicken and spaghetti infuse with all those yummy flavors. This is sure to be a hit on your dinner table.<\/p>\n
