Skillet Spaghetti

Be sure to stir this dish frequently as the pasta begins to soften, separating the strands carefully with your spoon. You could add your own homemade meatballs if you'd like. Add them when the spaghetti is half cooked.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 28-oz. jar pasta sauce
  • 1-1/2 cups water
  • 12 oz. spaghetti pasta, broken in half
  • 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation:

In 12" skillet, combine spaghetti sauce and water and stir to combine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add spaghetti and stir well, making sure spaghetti is under the sauce, completely covered in it. If necessary, you can add another 1/4 cup of water.

Bring to a boil again, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently. You may add more water or tomato sauce if the mixture appears to be too dry. Cook until spaghetti is al dente. Top with cheese and serve immediately. Serves 4
