What You Need
Instructions
In large pot, sauté beef over medium-high heat breaking up with a spoon; drain off fat. Add garlic, onion and herbs; cook, stirring, for about 3 min or until onion is tender. Add milk and 1 cup (250 mL) water; bring to a simmer. Stir in broken spaghetti; return to simmer, stirring often.
Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 5 min, stirring once, until spaghetti is wilted. Stir in pasta sauce and red pepper; cover and simmer, stirring often and adding more hot water if necessary to prevent sticking, for about 10 min longer or until pasta is tender. Stir in balsamic vinegar. Serve sprinkled with cheese. Garnish with basil.
Tips
Use lean turkey sausage removed from casings in place of beef. Add 1/4 cup (60 mL) each chopped black olives and sun-dried tomatoes and 1/2 cup (125 mL) drained marinated artichoke hearts with vinegar.
If you don't have scales to measure the amount of spaghetti, gather a 1-1/2 inch (4 cm) diameter bundle of dry noodles; this should be about 12 oz (375 g).

One can also add chopped veggies of choice, like carrots, while cooking beef for added nutrition.
