Speedy Spaghetti
One pot does it for this easy recipe. You will not be using a lid during this cooking process, nor when it sits to thicken. 

2 to 3 T. butter or olive oil
4 c. water
3 cans (8 oz. each) tomato sauce
2 to 3 T. dry chopped onions
1 tsp. garlic salt
2 to 3 tsp. italian seasonings
8 oz. dry spaghetti noodles

In a large pot, on high heat, bring to a rolling boil: oil, water, tomato sauce.

(The water thins sauce significantly, but don't worry, it thickens up later).  

Stir in dry onions, garlic salt, seasonings. 

Add spaghetti; stir, bring back to a full boil.  Reduce heat to medium so the mixture is boiling, but gently. Cook uncovered 12 to 14 minutes, stirring often. Take pot off heat source*, allow to sit 12 to 14 minutes; stir a few times while it thickens. Makes 4 to 6 servings.  Spoon into pasta bowls, top each serving with (optional) dry parmesan cheese. Salt and pepper to taste.   

 

*NOTE: can add 1/2 to 1 cup cooked ground beef/onions if you wish....add when taking pot off heat source, stir to combine. Another option would be to add cooked frozen meatballs.

 

Spaghetti noodles from Home Storage Center are broken pieces.... if using other spaghetti, break it in half before adding to boiling mixture.
