Homemade Spaghettio's Pasta

That's what we're calling it because it reminded me a lot of Spaghettio's sauce. But it was tasty and total comfort food.

Homemade Spaghettio's Pasta
(Adapted from Allrecipes.com)

1 12 oz. box of pasta (we used penne)
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
3 Tbsp. butter

Garlic powder
Black pepper
Shredded Cheese


In a large pot, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and let cool for 1 minute.

Meanwhile in a small sauce pan, melt the butter and add tomato sauce. Let simmer 1-2 minutes. Add garlic and pepper to taste.

Pour sauce over drained pasta and gently stir to combine. Add a handful of your favorite shredded cheese and stir as it melts.

We served this with some pre-cooked meatballs to give it a little more oomph but it would be tasty on its own merit too.
