I have the GREATEST vegetarian spaghetti recipe. It's easy and it tastes wonderful. I got the recioe from Giatta Di Laurentis's "Everyday Italian" program.

Cook one large onion in olive oil in a large skillet. When the onion is transparent, add 1-2 tsp. minced garlic. Cook for one minute. Add one package of spinach or swiss chard and cook until wilted. Add 1 tsp red pepper flakes. Add one drained 28-oz can of tomatoes. Add 3/4 pound cooked drained spaghetti and toss with 1/2-1 cup Parmesan or Romano cheese, grated. Serve with extra cheese.

You miight want to salt this...I don't because my husband doesn't like much salt, and the cheese adds enough for him. We eat this a lot as we are trying to lose weight and avoid eating a lot of meat. It makes a great dinner with a salad and Italian bread.

looks good Jane. Will save & reference the program (maybe check the website. I love most ethnic foods)

Actually I am making spaghetti & the sauce is done. I like Italian sauces if they set at least a day. It is a marinara loaded with herbs & flavors.

I am also making (not done yet) a pasta dish w/bow tie. Garlic, olive oil, sun dried roasted tom, broccoli.

Salad, homemade bread & Banana splits will finish the meal

The number varies in attendance but upward to 20.
