throw on top of spaghetti (Mary)

Please enjoy this tragic reflection on spaghettti toppings.

Spaghetti is easy and cheap, but it can get boring after a while. So here are some ways to spice it up!

First, put olive oil on the spaghetti and sprinkle on dried basil, oregano, or some other green leafy thing. This just makes it look classy. I bet minced garlic would be good, too. Then, try these:

Chop carrots into pennies and sautee them. Add salmon (one flat can, like 5oz?, per person) until it's heated through. Throw on top of spaghetti.

Make Jaimie's spicy tuna sauce.

Sautee carrots and broccoli, and throw on top of spaghetti.

Sautee chicken (strips are good), and mix that with your red spaghetti sauce. Change out of your white shirt. Throw on top of spaghetti.

Chop chicken to bite-sized pieces. Sautee with chopped onions, garlic, and green pepper. Throw in a can of diced tomatoes or a sliced fresh tomato at the very end. When it's all warm, throw on top of spaghetti. (Add shredded parm!)

Cut a chicken breast into 2-3 pieces. Mix flour, salt, paprika, garlic, thyme, and black pepper (go heavy on the flour) and use it to bread the chicken. (Put the flour mixture and the raw, thawed chicken in a sealed container, like a pyrex with lid or a freezer bag. Seal and shake till the chicken is coated.) Sautee the chicken in oil. Add sliced red or green pepper (probably a half to a whole one), and half to a whole chopped onion. Add a can of diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup chicken broth (you can make this with chicken soup base and hot water), and bring to a boil. Add red pepper flakes to taste. Simmer until chicken is cooked through. (You should end up with chicken in a thick sauce. If you don't, add some of the leftover flour mixture until it thickens.) Throw on top of spaghetti. (Or rice.)
