    • 16 oz spaghetti noodles - boil and set aside

    • In the same pot (after noodles are out) - sauté 1 chopped sweet onion and some chopped garlic if I have it

      • Then add:

        • 2 cans/boxes of diced tomatoes

        • 1 jar of pasta sauce (In like Rao’s)

        • add sugar and salt to taste (sugar essential, I know)

    • Once sauce is warmed and tastes good - add noodles back, stir

    • Place it all in a casserole dish, cover with foil, refrigerate

    • When ready: 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes
