Elbow Spaghetti
Spaghetti with elbow macaroni and an extra ingredient to add richness and creaminess.
My kids are a bit "by the book" - they love mac and cheese. I feel guilty as a mom feeding them processed crap from a box, but when I make it from scratch, it's always missing that delicious processed cheese taste. So sometimes for lunch, I make them what I call elbow spaghetti because my kids love spaghetti. But I make it with elbow macaroni - hence the elbow in the name, of course!
What You Need:
8 oz. elbow macaroni
1 jar Prego (or homemade sauce) - may not use all of it
1 Tbsp. butter
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 lb. ground beef or turkey, cooked and crumbled (optional)
Directions:
Prepare macaroni according to package directions; drain.
Stir in butter until melted.
Add Prego and sour cream (and cooked meat). Heat through, if needed.
