Warm Up with a Bowl of Spaghetti with Zesty Bolognese

This is the first weekday meal creation that my blog is featuring. Tonight's meal was Spaghetti with Zesty Bolognese. This recipe can be found directly from the Kraft Foods website (a great place to go for quick meal ideas).

I have made the Zesty Bolognese Spaghetti Sauce several times before and have absolutely loved it. The added flavour that the Kraft Left Zesty Italian Dressing provides really makes the usual canned spaghetti sauce taste that much better (I prefer Ragu with ground beef). And of course, adding the cream cheese adds the perfect amount of creamy texture to make this meal great for all of the cold winter nights that Halifax has been having lately.

Tonight we also made a lasagna for a pot luck that Steve's office is having tomorrow. We decided to double the Zesty Bolognese sauce and use it in the lasagna as well. One tip that I want to pass along is that if you are doubling the recipe, you may not want to use two complete jars of pasta sauce, perhaps just one and a half, as using two may result in the sauce becoming too runny and it will take far too long to thicken to the desired consistency. Using this sauce for lasagna works really well and usually has everyone coming back for seconds!

I recommend trying the pasta sauce for the next cold winter day that we have - it will leave your tummy full and your mouth happy! Bon appetit and enjoy!
