Skillet Spaghetti

Skillet Spaghetti

For this easy dinner, use your favorite spaghetti sauce and pasta. Grated Parmesan cheese from the green can is just fine for this homey recipe. And save the cookies to tuck into lunchboxes or for a snack for hungry kids home from activities.

Spaghetti Dinner for $8.28

  • Skillet Spaghetti
    I love how the spaghetti is so flavorful in this recipe because it cooks right in the sauce. Cost for four servings: $4.50
  • Dilled Coleslaw
    Coleslaw may seem like a strange side to spaghetti, but the crisp cool crunch is delicious next to the warm and comforting pasta. Save half of the coleslaw to make Corned Beef and Slaw Sandwiches or Fish 'n Chips Dinner later in the week. Cost for half the recipe: $1.50
  • Toasted Garlic Bread
    You have to have crisp and garlicky bread with spaghetti; it's the perfect addition to this inexpensive meal. Cost for half the recipe: $1.20
  • Peanut Butter Cocoa Cookies
    This old fashioned no-bake cookie is easy to make and delicious too. Tuck some into lunch boxes tomorrow. Cost for eight cookies: $1.08
