Both kids and adults like this one. You probably have most of the ingredients in your pantry already...and if you don't have cream, use 2 cups of milk. A great dish to freeze and serve at a later time. If you like a spicier tomato sauce, feel free to add your own Italian spices: garlic, basil, oregano, green pepper, etc ...

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound spaghetti
¾ cup margarine
1 onion, chopped
1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
15 large black olives, halved
1 (4.5 ounce) can sliced mushrooms
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a large skillet melt 1/2 cup margarine over medium heat. Stir in onion, chopped tomatoes, and salt; simmer for 1/2 hour.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pot with boiling salted water cook pasta until al dente. Drain. Place cooked spaghetti in the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • In a small saucepan melt 3 tablespoons of margarine over medium heat. Take off heat and quickly stir in 3 tablespoons of flour to make a paste. Return to heat and slowly stir in the milk. Cook on low, stirring often, until thick. Add heavy cream and continue to cook until slightly thickened.
  • Pour simmered tomato mix over top of spaghetti. Sprinkle on olive halves and mushrooms. Pour cream sauce on top. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
