Easy dinner tonight

Yes, that old standby, spaghetti!

I generally don't make my sauce fresh, as this is a dinner I make when I want to take it easy. As I just had a C-section about two weeks ago, taking it easy is key just now. However, I do add a few spices to the store-bought sauce to improve the flavor. A bit of oregano, basil, thyme and minced garlic really helps out the flavor of even the more inexpensive sauces.

Another way to improve store-bought sauces is to add a little red wine and cook the sauce. I generally brown some ground beef then add the sauce, a little red wine and appropriate spices, then cook for 10 minutes or so to make the sauce taste much better than it does out of the jar.

Don't worry, recipes will get more interesting on here.
