- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano shopping list
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste) shopping list
- 2 cups water shopping list
- 8 ounces spaghetti, broken into 3 inch pieces (I used half of a 16 ounce package–Thin spaghetti–not Angel Hair– but you can use regular ) shopping list

- 4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil shopping list

How to make it
- Preparation:
- Saute green onion in 2 tablespoons olive oil, on medium heat 5 minutes.
- Add beef and sausage, brown over medium-hi heat.
- While almost brown, add garlic, pepper flakes, oregano, and parsley.
- Once browned, stir in crushed tomatoes, water and salt.
- Add broken spaghetti. Push spaghetti into liquid, and cover for 8 minutes.
- After 8 minutes, stir pasta so the noodles won’t stick together. Reduce heat to medium low simmer for 6 more minutes until pasta is al dente (almost cooked but still a little firm).
- Add basil, Parmesan cheese, and cream, stir well.
- Sprinkle top with mozzarella cheese, put in oven to broil until spotty brown. (stand there and keep watch or set a timer for 3 minutes at a time until it’s ready, or else you may end up with Blackened Hillbilly Spaghetti Pie!)
