Sometimes you want food fast but, not "fast food." Well, this was the case one Friday evening after a long work week. I was starved for something good, filling, and quick. I went into my kitchen, started looking around, and got busy. Not only did I create one of the best-tasting spaghetti dinners I've eaten in a long time but, I made it all from start to finish in under an hour.
