Home made Spaghetti

Let me See what is new with my life? I’m at CPCC College now I go three nights a week, I’m still working a full time job, and I have a wonderful boyfriend that is a rodeo man. So almost every weekend we are gone out of town. So my cooking has been very limited the last little while. I’m going to write short recipe of something I made the other day. It’s something like spaghetti, but a little more on the Italian side, I had this while I was in Italy. I hope you enjoy =)

2TB of mince garlic + 2TB to fry with meat

2TB Oregano

2TB Italian seasoning + 1TB to fry with meat
