Is very important that the water for boiling noodle is 1 liter for 100 g of pasta. Very important 🙂

Large pan, and non stop boiling, otherwise the cooking of pasta is not correct 🙂

Lovely recipe.

When using canned tomatoes, one thing I like to do is slow-roast them for several hours. Lay out whole peeled canned tomatoes on a cookie sheet, sprinkled with a smidge of salt, pepper, a SCANT bit of sugar and a little olive oil. Maybe slip in a sliver or two of garlic if you like. Roast for 6 hours at 200 F, then purée in a food mill or blender and use as needed. Can be made in advance if necessary.

Hi Ashley, Have you seen the cookbook, Pretend Soup, by Molly Katzen? My boys and I really liked it. Fun healthy recipes.

About the Guminator, we (Me and 2 of my boys who are my consultants on these things) think that a blowgun with gumballs would work fine. He would have to use it outside and never, ever shoot at people, like mothers and younger siblings. You can make a nice blowgun out of pvc pipe and cover it in colored duct tape. Use nerf darts if you are playing indoors. From the MOB (Mom of Boys)

You’ve basically nailed one of my favorite recipes of all time. It just doesn’t get better than simple spaghetti 🙂

You have a beautiful family and a great blog! You’ve definitely captured beauty of simplicity with the photos. My son Ethan is 3 1/2 and always wants to be involved when I’m in the kitchen. He instantly pulls up a chair and is ready to get his hands into whatever food creation is brewing! I will have to remember this book for my little chef in a few years!

Thanks

This is my favourite pantry meal! Light and so delicious. I’m going to look for this book for the big kid typing this.

Your family is gorgeous!

I love simple things too, perhaps for the same reasons, and this sauce looks delicious. Tasty and comforting.

Simplicity really is wonderful; and although I find simplicity so hard to achieve at times, when I do find it, I love it. Life uncluttered is life beautiful!

My Noah (also five) got this book for Christmas and promptly sat down and read it for thirty minutes. Then we *had* to make spaghetti, right that very minute.

I love that you shared this recipe – and the open book shot. Aren’t the illustrations just TOO fun?

Simplicity at it’s best, indeed.
