Pizza Pasta…

I first came across this recipe almost ten years ago when following Weight Watchers. The kids were little; loved it, so we ate it almost every week. My husband and I got tired of eating it all the time so I stopped making it. To be honest, I had not made this in almost eight years.
Last night I set out to make spaghetti for dinner. I had the pasta boiling, since the computer is in the kitchen, I sat down to look at my email.  In my inbox was an email from www.bookstrand.com, informing me Reece Butler had a new book releasing in a week. This will be book nine in the series, which started three years ago.
To say I was not paying attention would be an understatement. I had pre-browned the meat a few days ago, so I just needed to heat the sauce and meat.  I opened the jar of sauce and threw away the lid… at least I thought I had. Yep, I threw the jar in the trash and kept the lid, whoops!
Now I usually keep two jars of spaghetti sauce in my pantry, of course I couldn’t find the other jar. So I pulled out the pizza sauce. The kids did not remember, ever having pizza pasta, and thought it was “really good” and “it tastes just like pizza.” Oh my, I have feeling this dish has now made a comeback in our diet.
