LAZY BACHELOR'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• Put it all in a big pot and put the heat on low.
• Combine the ingredients in any old way.
• I usually start with the Prego in the pot, and add the hamburg after it's browned, and the rest of the stuff after it's cooked or cut up.
• Let it simmer on low for about an hour.
• Stir frequently so it's doesn't stick to the bottom.
• Get some"Texas Toast" in the yellow box from the freezer section (or make your own garlic bread, but Texas Toast is the bomb! So easy! Out of the box, into the oven for about 7 minutes and it's done!).
• Some parmesan cheese (or you can slice up some Monterey Jack cheese and put that on top.) Salt and pepper to taste.
• EAT!
• I don't even cook pasta.
• We just eat it straight.
• There's always a lot left over (no kidding? look at the amount that went into it!), so I have it for the next 3 days.
• Good stuff.
• My wife says it's better than Grandma Bell's sauce, and she's our 92 year old, 100% Italian grandma and she makes hers from scratch!
• (If it's still a little thin, you can add another can of tomato paste and some italian bread crumbs to thicken it-it should be the consistency of chili when you're done).

BACHELOR PASTA

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a sausepan until it is just starting to smoke.
• In a heavy metal strainer over a heavy metal bowl, put spaghetti noodles.
• Top with the onion, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, basil, and garlic.
• Pour the hot oil over the veggies and pasta slowly, being sure to pour oil directly on all veggies.
• (Be careful! Oil may pop!) Toss veggies and pasta, lift strainer to get rid of excess oil.
• Divide pasta and veggies between two plates, top with sausage and shredded cheese.
